Project by CU Boulder GEEN 1400 Engineering Projects students: Diana George, Jenna Sobieray, Alex Cossoff and Chris Francklyn Have you ever dreamt...
1. Order all of your electronics from the web including: Lilypad Pro Kit, E-sewing kit, temperature sensors, tri-colored LEDS, solar panels, and whate...
Most important phase of the jacket: sewing the liner (a.k.a. your control center) 1. Sew on your Lilypad Arduino to a safe spot. We placed ours ...
Use no more than 6 temperature sensors to get a good reading of the body temperature. 1. Evenly space the temperature sensors throughout the li...
Follow the design pattern of this schematic when doing the circuitry of the liner.
Once you have all your sensors in the jacket you must write the code to get the LEDs to fade according to the temperature of the body. 1. Download t...
You will be using the tri-colored LEDs to help tell you the temperature of the body. Sew three LEDs on the outside of each of the arms of the actual...
Adding a solar panel to the jacket is optional , but it will help with powering the jacket. It is recommended that you use a flexible solar pane...
1. Put the sew-on conductive snaps on the hood of the shell that snap to the shell. Also put another set of the same snaps on the inside of the she...
Place Iron-on fabric over the circuits to prevent shorting Use the volt meter to trace the leads if the circuits are not w...
We will now go into part 2 of How to Make a Heating and Cooling Jacket! Part 2 is seperated into two parts (the heating portion and the cooling...
Fan Cooling System Materials: · 4 computer fans, 5 volts each · 1 model airplane battery, 15 volts · 1 solid-state relay · ...
First, you will need to prepare the fans for the jacket before they can be sewn in. To do this, the felt, supports, mesh, and fans must all ...
You now need to make holes in the shell, sew felt to the outside, and attach Velcro to the inside for the fans. 1. Cut four holes, each the same...
To the outside of the liner, you will now sew the two fans the blow air in on the chest and the two that blow air out of the jacket located on the low...
You will need to test out your circuit with the code to make sure you have it working before you put it all in. This code should run both of the circu...
Once you have all the fans sewn in, the code working, and the Velcro attached, it is time to sew the circuit together. The fans will...
Materials 3 feet of insulated Teflon wire (or a cheap/old heating pad) 1 model airplane battery, 15 volts 1 solid-state relay Creat...
1. Place your heating wire into the jacket and safety pin it in before sewing to help plan where you want it to go. Make sure to have both of t...
The relay acts like a switch, turning the circuit on or off as needed. The code we have written will open or close the relays, which will allow the di...
Make sure your connections are working with help from a voltmeter. Test to see where the voltage of your battery has dropped. Retry...
