In this two part lab we explored circuitry using thread-board and conductive wire, materials that are traditionally used in E Textiles. I had a lot of fun creating circuits and doing arts & crafts in this lab. I hope you like what I came up with!
For this mini lab, we created a thread-board circuit using LEDs and drew a schematic of our final product
The first step was acquiring materials for this lab. We used:
The circuit I put together lit up 2 blue LEDs and 1 yellow LED
I connected one piece of conductive thread to the 3.3V source on the microcontroller and wrapped it around the board. I connected another piece of conductive thread to ground on the microcontroller and wrapped in a smaller, inner loop around the board. I then connected the long legs of 3 LEDS to this power thread and the short legs to the ground thread.
This is the schematic I drew of this circuit:
For the second part of this weeks lab, I created a circuit with a custom switch.
The materials I used for this lab were:
