Step 2Attach the Breadboard
Make holes in the four corners to sew it to the shirt.
I used my roommate's sewing kit to whip it on with some matching black threads. That way it'll stay right where you want it.
Breadboards, and most electronics, are even washable! (but not batteries)
Placement: you can obviously put the breadboard anywhere, or even make your entire body into a giant prototyping board. I put it at chest height because it's where a lot of logos go.
The stitching is quick - lash a few stitches on and you're good to go.
A little extra: you'll probably want to throw a battery on, so your new little electronics bench has power. I was feeling lazy so I just hot glued it down, with the intent of adding an elastic strap for the battery later.
Real wearables pros put the battery pack on the inside of the shirt for total style and comfort.
Remember to unplug the batteries for washing!
