Soft circuits workshops in SF by Grace Kim

Day One:
History and context
Measuring energy
Creating a circuit on a breadboard
Soft circuit basics
Embroidery basics
Introduction to switches (including how to turn everyday sewing notions into switches)
Workshop time: make an LED wristband
Assignment: prototype a concept of an exaggerated sense
Day Two:
Class presentations
Introduction to resistance (including how to use a multimeter)
Introduction to sensors
Workshop time: make a tote bag that lights up when your cell phone receives an incoming call
(students may not be able to complete the full project in this time. Rather the assignment would be that the student finishes the project on their own time, or extra workshop time will be delegated in the next class)
Assignment: prototype a concept of the electronic gesture
Day Three:
Class presentations
Demonstration of advanced materials (different types of conductive fabric, felt resistors, LED-integrated fabric, el paper)
Demonstration of LIilypad and other microcontrollers.
Demonstration of advanced sensors (accelerometer, etc)
Battery management
Looking for components in unexpected places: hacking old electronics and toys
Workshop time: perhaps finish tote bag or workshop future project ideas with students

Meet&Playback glove by Mary Huang

It is a glove that works with 2 capacitive sensors knitted with conductive yarn and a piezo sensor. Everytime you meet a friend, shake hands or give hi5, the glove store your meeting as a music note that you can playback like a random melody pushing the flower button on the other side of the glove. The idea is to store the memory of the persons you meet in the day and translate them into something that you can always listen to during the day.

Morse Corsage by Miu Ling Lam

Morse Corsage is an interactive installation that transmits and decodes Morse code. It consists of a wearable device, the corsage, which is made of a crocheted flower and custom electronics, and a processing program that listens and decodes Morse code messages sent from the corsage. Morse code is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth. The corsage is worn on the wearer’s wrist and he/she can send Morse code by pressing the push-button sewed on the corsage.

eTextile DIY community – LilyPond

The high-low tech team at MIT under the lead of eTextile innovator Leah Buechley started a very interesting project called LilyPond, a eTextile Web community and place for collaboration and sharing of eTextile projects.
LilyPond is aiming to pond the LilyPad community and to provide support for people who want to design and create soft, interactive circuits with the LilyPad Arduino toolkit.
Currently there are over 60 projects posted on the LilyPond site with a short description. The tutorial and resource pages are not yet in operation.
The LilyPond project team Leah Buechley, Emily Lovell, Kanjun Qiu and Linda Delafuente created a site which will become over time a great place to find infos around eTextile materials and techniques and a place to share eTextile designs with the community.
Even though some of the site’s functions are not yet available, browsing through the many project intros already available will serve as inspirational trip through the e-Textile world.

Craft Meets Tech at MIT

In this video Betty Stern come to the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are e-textiles pioneer Leah Buechley and students from her research group called "High-Low Tech," which Leah describes as "blends" of technology with traditional crafts to make new toolkits for creativity and learning. Brilliant and fun projects by Hannah Perner-Wilson, Emily Lovell, David Mellis, and Bonifaz Kaufmann.

Hannah Perner-Wilson added a cute little DIY project to her growing Instructables collection: the Fabric & Bead Tilt Sensing Bracelet. esigned to make (electrical) contact when the metal bead is inside one of the conductive petals and when the bead ends up between two petals results in twelve position indicators.

Hannah Perner-Wilson tilt sensor bracelet

It is up to your creativity and fantasy to find a useful or fun application where you can use this instruction. Controlling light or sound effects on clothing related to arm movement could be one example but I guess there will be a long list of things to do with this idea.
What I like on Hannah’s step-by-step overview is the creative way how to jump from the textile electronic to the ‘hard’ world of conventional electronic. A simple but effective ‘interposer’ to connect to a standard Arduino board. This can be very useful for testing out new projects before integrating the electronic more seamlessly via the LilyPad Arduino.

The complete material shopping list and tools requirement can be found on her Instructables together with the very detailed step-by-step instruction how to build your own tilt sensor bracelet.

David Bowie by Jared Brown

Jared Brown does embroidery. It sounds dull and worthy of making your nephews a pair of socks, but he ramps it up a notch by doing embroidery of classic retro pictures. Superheroes, Spock, David Bowie.... Brown must spend hours recreating his favourite memories in the medium of canvas and cross-stitch.

Open softwear

Open Softwear is a book about fashion and technology. More precisely it is a book about Arduino boards, conductive fabric, resistive thread, soft buttons, LEDs, and some other things. We started researching three years ago thanks to the support of K3, Malmö University School of Arts and Communication.

Authors T. Olsson, D. Gaetano, J. Odhner, and S. Wiklund got the chance to come together to write down their conclusions in the form of an illustrated book aiming at students and professionals trying to enter the field of physical computing from the softwear perspective.

The Open Source Embroidery

The history of computing as craft began with the Jacquard loom (1801), the first programmed machine which used binary punch cards to design woven patterns. The loom inspired Charles Babbage in his design of the Analytical Engine, often described as the precursor to the modern computer. Flare Productions’ documentary film about Ada Byron Lovelace, To Dream Tomorrow (2003) highlights the significance of her extensive notes about the Analytical Engine, and her insight into the potential of the machine to operate not just as a calculator of numbers but also as a computer of symbols and information. Richard Hamilton also featured Ada Lovelace in a poster campaign to save free public entry for the South Kensington Museums in London (1998). Issues of access to code and culture are still pertinent questions of our time.


The Open Source Embroidery exhibition brings together individual and collectively made artworks by artists, crafts people, computer programmers and html users which explore the relationship between craft and code, physical and digital space. The artworks experiment with interdisciplinary approaches to modifying patterns, the DIY culture of hacking and sampling in sound, GPS and mobile technologies.

Open Source Embroidery is curated by Ele Carpenter, HUMlab Research Fellow in partnership with BildMuseet, Umea, Sweden. The exhibition has been developed by BildMuseet and the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco

LED Sewing kit by Sternlab

This LED sewing kit is a supplement to my Electronic Embroidery tutorial featured in CRAFT, Vol. 09 (preview article) and online in step-by-step photo and video tutorial forms. If you’re already into embroidery or needlepoint, this is a good way to start experimenting with electronics.
It contains:
-1 sewable battery holder
-1 coincell battery
-2 LEDs (you choose the color)
-1 snap for making a switch
-about 7 feet (~2 meters) of conductive thread, enough for 1 or 2 projects

Proyecto by Amor Muñoz: E-S-Q-U-E-M-A-T-I-CO-S

Con el proyecto “Esquemáticos: Gráficas Expandidas Funcionales”, propongo realizar dibujos expandidos de gran formato, utilizando y yuxtaponiendo recursos manuales como el textil y el electrónico. Se busca el uso de imaginarios electrónicos, como los esquemáticos, ya que son un referente histórico, global y funcional del desarrollo tecnológico contemporaneo. Es de mi interés vincular la abstracion de el dibujo técnico asociado a la tecnologia funcional, planteando tanto formalidades estéticas como procesuales que activen el imaginario colectivo.
