====== Week 5: E-Textiles and Wearables I / KOBAKANT ======

===== CLASS =====

This week, the girls from Kobakant show us all about soft electronics and the materials we can use for it. We also had a really good class with Emma, who teached us the basis of electronics and programing with and ATtiny 84.

==== ASSIGNMENT ====

Make a soft sensor (piezoresistive, resistive or contact), and plug to a led light and battery.

''**1. ** ACCORDION SENSOR / PIEZORESISTIVE + CONTACT SENSOR ''

''WHAT''

Sensor inspired by the cords use in clothing and the pleats of the felt. I try 2 different ideas in the same piece: 1) reduce the resistance and 2) make contact when you pull the cord.

''STEPS''

**1) DRAW THE SCHEMATICS**

**2) TRY THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS:** I try the different types of conductive materials and measure the resistance of each one.

**3) SOLDER:** I wanted to use little leds so I had to figure it out how to solder them. Finally I use copper tape to attach them.

**4) STITCHING**

**5) ASSEMBLY**
