Wearable Piano Interface

Step 4 Prapare your circuit

Minimize your circuit, take all extra material away, see how small you can get it and then decide on interfacing method between t-shirt and circuit:

• poppers
• hooks and loops
• conductive Velcro
• fixed connection
• metal magnets
• ...

Solder wires to connection points on circuit and create strain relief. Attach connectors to end of wires.

he how did you solder this?? I am trying this project but when I try to solder it either does not stick or I breack to original cirquit :(

have you cut the circuit down to the bare minimum and are trying to solder to very small areas of the conductive traces?
be sure to scrape off the greenish isolation first. then get some solder to stick to the conductive trace on the board. add solder to the wire and then bring both together. you'll want to add some good stickytape or hot glue ontop of everything once it is working to take all the strain off the solder joints.

aha glue ! tomorrow I will try, thank you for the quick reaction :)

also flux and tin the wires and flux the traces ;)
