Circuit T-Shirt

Step 7 Done!

You are done! You Cannot wash the shirt! It's too delicate, so try to keep it clean. My shirt is powered by a 9v which I place in my pocket. Do not wear this to an airport.

Please comment and rate!

UPDATE::: Ok, you probably CAN hand wash it if you are very careful not to break the solder joints. Hang dry.

Would this be washable if I water sealed all of the components and removed the battery prior to washing?

To decrease the speed of the blinking resistors, can you use higher resistance resistors in the middle and larger capacitors?

[AdamMunich]

you dont have to change the caps, but you could use a larger or even variable resisitor if you like.

"blinking resistors"

Sigh. i meant LEDs

[Plusea]

I really like the sprayed on graphics! But i'm not such a fan of the blinking LEDs

[meatball]

then replace the leds with speakers :-D

[Plusea]

Funnily enough that would really be a good option for me. But what do i have come out of the speakers? Thanks.

[meatball]

that depends on how fast you switch between the 2 transistors.
because this is DC (no sine wave signal or rectangle or whatever) you hear just a "clac" sound everytime the transistor switches to a speaker.
but you can also can try and place a NE555 (plus necessary capacitors/resistors/whatever) after each transistor. this would generate a rectangle signal which makes a "buzzing" sound (the sound depends on the parts around the NE555, the higher the frequency of the NE555, the higher the sound).

but with all of this components maybe it will be better to use a lilypad arduino. with this, it will even will be washable :-)

Thanks!

If you use this circuit to make speakers humm, you can replace the inner resistors w/ lower values. The lower the resistance, the higher the sound you will get. You may use potientometers if you like.
