 **Assignment:​ **Create an interactive object; if you are already experienced with coding, focus on fully integrating a microcontroller into a textile circuit. If you are new to coding, choose an example and get it working using your own sensors and actuators. **Assignment:​ **Create an interactive object; if you are already experienced with coding, focus on fully integrating a microcontroller into a textile circuit.

-**Idea: **Pocket with buttons ​to different ​phrases/music. For this idea I'll be using the Sparkfun ​Lilipad ​mp3 board.+**Idea: **Glove for helping blind-deaf people ​to communicate with simple ​phrases ​outside or in any non-adapted location. For this idea I used the Sparkfun ​Lilypad ​mp3 board that is able to store in a sd card different sound commands.

 +**MATERIAL AND TECHNIQUES ** 
 + 
 +**1. Look for Open Source code for Lilypad mp3 with different sound output depending on input location. {{:​students:​images:​untitled.jpg?​nolink&​180x237 ​ }}** 
 + 
 +The code was found in an open source website for a similar experiment with conductive ink and the code was adapted to this project.{{ ​ :​students:​images:​untitled2.jpg?​nolink&​250x191}} 
 + 
 +Afterwards the proper code was uploaded in the Lilypad board and the electrical system was build up around it. 
 + 
 +For the experiment extra cable connections were used to connect the board and speakers. 
 + 
 +After a successful try out the circuit was redesigned to fit into the glove surface. The first sketches were made on paper but afterward it had to be digitalized. 
 + 
 +**{{:​students:​images:​untitled3.jpg?​nolink&​400x231 ​ }}** 
 + 
 +**3. Design the circuit and gloves with Rhino already putting it into scale.{{ ​ :​students:​images:​untitled9.jpg?​nolink&​150x209}}** 
 + 
 +This step is necessary to prepare the vectors to be cut with the laser cutter. The O//ffset// tool was often used to ensure the same 3mm thickness of the conducting path. 
 + 
 +**{{:​students:​images:​untitled4.jpg?​nolink&​250x280 ​ }}** 
 + 
 +**4. Prepare conductive textile and cut it with laser cuter {{  :​students:​images:​untitled5.jpg?​nolink&​200x220}}** 
 + 
 +In this step a special double sided adhesive paper heat activated was used to glue the conductive textile on the glove. 
 + 
 +**5. Assembly: Sewing and Soldering** 
 + 
 +The final details required the conductive thread to connect the circuit of conductive textile and normal non-conductive was used to sew the glove together.

 +The final product of this weeks assignment is therefore a prototype of a glove that needs to be covered inside to avoid chocks and waste of battery. This glove works and fits its purpose of innovative solution with textile for care.
