E-textile swatches

Collection of E textile Swatches.

These swatches contain a fabric part and an electronic part. Often electronics and fabric or other materials are intertwined, mixed, used by each other.

Circuit, buttons and switches

Buttons of metal, used for trousers as a switch.

Big ring of metal used as a switch.

Piece of aluminum foil on fabric using flysofix as a switch which folds to close the circuit and start an led.

ATtiny85 swatches

Charlieplexing, 8 leds connected to the four pins of the ATtiny85.

Folding with ATtiny85 and 5 leds. An example of interaction between material and led.

Sensor swatches

Tilt sensor made of three conductive patches which form a circle. The circuit is closed by swinging the bead over these patches.

LDR in combination with a fixed resistor. ATtiny85 can blink with 2 leds.

Themistor (NTC) with a fixed resistor. ATtiny85 can blink with 2 leds.

Pressure sensor with a fixed resistor. ATtiny85 can blink with 2 leds.

Arduino Pro Mini with LCD screen and 3 sensors, light, temperature and pollution. Lipo battery plus charger.

Led swatches

Different red leds, from 10mm, 5mm, 1mm and an smd led.

Parallel leds in a circuit with an open connection, use something conductive to close the circuit.

RGB neopixels. ATtiny85. One of the neopixels is covered by filling and cloth to investigate the effect of the light under fabric.

A piece of copper strip with smd leds soldered on the copper strip. Parallel connections.

555 swatches

Textile speaker. 9V, use of magnets.

Transistor swatches

Darlington array. By amplifying the signal with 2 transistors you can detect if a human touches a pad of aluminum foil. You need to touch both pads.

Transistor switch. LDR in connection with a fixed resistor makes the BC457 into a switch.
