Light Up Cycling Jersey

Step 8Attaching the Light Sensor

Attaching the Light Sensor
Take your LilyPad LightSensor and sew it to the bottom of the jersey using NON-conductive thread. Make sure that the sensor is on the outside of the jersey and is visible to light.

Next, using conductive thread, connect the negative pin on the light sensor to the negative pin on the arduino.

Then, using conductive thread, connect the positive pin on the light sensor to the positive pin on the arduino.

Then, using conductive thread, connect the sensor pin (indicated with an "S" on the sensor) on the light sensor to pin a0 (analog pin 0) on the arduino.

NOTE: Make sure to be extra-careful not to cross any of the conductive threading when sewing.
