Beginning e-Textile Development, 1st ed. Prototyping e-Textiles with Wearic Smart Textiles Kit and the BBC micro:bit
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Seneviratne Pradeeka
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) involves the combination of electronics and textiles to form "smart" textile products. It is an emerging technology with immense opportunities in the field of wearables fashion technology. And while there are many e-textile development platforms available on the market, this book uses the Wearic smart textile kit, a modular prototyping platform, to get you building projects and experiments easily and quickly.
Beginning e-Textile Development presents the essentialcomponents to get you started with developing e-textiles.
What You'll Learn
- Program with the BBC micro:bit
- Add lights to your wearables using LED textiles
- Use different textile sensors to measure heat, detect water, actuate attachments, and enable sense touch and pressure
- Actuate attachments on wearables with muscle activity and heartbeat
- Make chemistry-based color-changing fabrics using thermochromic pigments
- Utilize Bluetooth Low Energy to send sensor data to mobile apps and WiFi to send sensor data to the ThingSpeak IoT analytics platform service
