 ===== General Idea =====
-The assignment for this week was to create an interactive project, so having in mind my final project, I tested some motors and the posibility to sew the circuit to the fabric instead of using a PCB. I reached to make the fabric move with the aid of the dc motor whithout being connected to its axis.

 ===== Sewing The Circuit =====
-The first thing I did was to sew thee motord driver since it was the component that had the pads closer. At a begining I tried to soldered it directly to the conductive thread, but I realizad that it was almost impossible. So to solve this I soldered the pins to copper wire and expanded them so that the the component look like an spider and then I fixed it to the fabric with conductive thread. Once I did this I started to sew all the components to the fabric  and between them. At a point I tried to test my circuit in the PC but I realized that the LyliPad had problems so I had to cut the wires that fixed the lilypad to the fabric changed it by one that worked correctly and soldered the remaining wires to it. Then I proceed to sew and solder the rest of the components and sewed the motor to the fabric with a common thread.

Once I did this I started to sew all the components to the fabric and between them. Since the copper wire I used was very brittle, I sewed very carefully directly to the terminals of the components, that way I avoided that the fabric stretched too much so that it broke the copper wire.

Then I proceed to sew and solder the rest of the components and sewed the motor to the fabric with a common thread, this last action will move the fabric when the motor stops or changes it direction of spin, similar to when a car brakes suddenly and makes the passengers move.
