Light up your Robot T-Shirt

Here is a fun and easy soft circuit project. I took an Instructables' Robot t-shirt and added some LEDs for the eyes and a flashing red LED for Robot's heart.  The switches are situated where the grey buttons on Robot's front panel are.

The circuit is sewed onto felt  that is attached to the inside of the t-shirt with Velcro so it can be taken off and the t-shirt can be washed.

 

Step 1 What you will need

• Instructables' robot t-shirt (you can win one, or buy one here)
• Felt: red and white for the heart and another piece for the circuit panel
• Velcro
• Matching thread
• Pins, needles and scissors
• Needle nose pliers
• Washable fabric glue
• Tape

         Circuit:

• Conductive thread (I bought mine here)
• LEDs for the eyes (I used some yellow ones which I got from cheap set of battery powered Christmas lights)
• Two push button switches
• Resistor (use  this site to determine which one you need) 
• Button cell battery
• Flashing red LED circuit ( this I got from cheap flashing dollar store toy or you can make one)
