| For this week, I chose to create an LED circuit incorporating a sensor. I integrated this into a choker necklace because I was keen to create a wearable artefact for this assignment. The choker used a parallel circuit with 4 LEDs, and the traces were created using conductive thread and the embroidery machine and sewing by hand. The sensor was a metal popper button which disrupted the circuit when the choker was unworn (and the button was left open), and which completed the circuit when the choker was worn around the neck (when the button was closed). | For this week, I chose to create an LED circuit incorporating a sensor.

| I wanted to design a parallel circuit that would look nice on a choker. I had different ideas but found them difficult to put into a parallel circuit as it is important in a parallel circuit to keep the positive and negative wires separate. Finally, I came up with the design in the picture below (first image). | I wanted to design a parallel circuit that would look nice on a choker.
