10. E-Textiles and Wearables II

On this week we continue with e-textile but this time we are going to apply our circuit to a product that can works as a wearable. Focusing on: What does it mean to be wearable? What factors and variables must we take into consideration?

A wearable clothing is not highly distinctive or radical; rather, it is pleasant, functional, and appropriate for everyday wear. It's easy to care for and stylish without being too wearing. It means that works as an electronic gadget that can be worn on the body is called a wearable.

Circuite for the e-Insole

Code

const int hot = 87; //set hot parameter
const int cold = 75; //set   cold parameter
void setup() {
pinMode(A2, INPUT); //sensor
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);   //blue
pinMode(3, OUTPUT); //green
pinMode(4, OUTPUT); //red
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void   loop() {
int sensor = analogRead(A2);
float voltage = (sensor / 1024.0) *   5.0;
float tempC = (voltage - .5) * 100;
float tempF = (tempC * 1.8) + 32;
