Step 3Temperature Sensors
Use no more than 6 temperature sensors to get a good reading of the body temperature.
1. Evenly space the temperature sensors throughout the liner. Good places are towards the sides and in the armpit areas.
*see photo for more ideas
2. Once you have an idea where all your sensors will be located, it is time for the conductive thread and some sewing. (The thread will be from your E-sewing kit. Try not to get frustrated--it is difficult to work with).
3. On the sensors are +, -, and s symbols. Sew in the - of the sensor to the jacket, BUT DON'T STOP THERE. Take the same thread from the negative to another temperature sensor's negative port, and connect them all in one parallel circuit. When they all are connected you will need to finally attach them to the (-) port on the lilypad.
*It is helpful to sew in all the temperature sensors first. In each of the ports, you must sew in separate thread, but do not cut the thread when done. Leave a long strand to the side so you will be able to connect the sensors together.
4. Once you have all the negatives connected you will need to connect all the positives in the exact same way. When they are all connected, you will need to finally attach them to the (+) port on the Lilypad (like you did with the -).
5. Then notice that each sensor has a port labeled with a (s). This is the information transformation port. You will need to sew each of the sensor’s (s) port to its own analog port on the Lilypad. These are the analog ports labeled (A0 - A5). MAKE SURE THAT THE CONDUCTIVE THREAD DOES NOT TOUCH YOUR OTHER CIRCUITS ALREADY SEWN IN!
THIS WILL MAKE YOUR JACKET SHORT CIRCUIT! CHECK OUR PICTURES FOR MORE INFORMATION.
