Small 3V button-cell holders made with felt and conductive thread. They are small in size and easy to sew on. Good for lighting a LED. Can use have 2 batteries stacked inside for a 6V output.
Check out the “Making of” tab for step by step process for making these.
This tying trigger has 4 legs. One leg acts as the positive and the other three correspond to three different actions. Tie the positive leg with any of the other legs on to the same conductive object to activate the desired action.
In this prototype the legs are connected to the RGB LED. Thus each of the three legs correspond to a different color. Try different tying combinations and find appropriate objects to trigger different color!
the led shows green light here(top).
Started with getting re-familiar with the knitting machine. The knitting studio in the textile dept. (7th floor) is a nice work-space with a number of silver reed home knitting machines. I made some small knitted samples of different thickness wool.
