5. E-textiles¶

TO BE EDITED...

This week I worked on making a Digital Sensor and a Analogue Sensor to integrate it into a soft circuit with Arduino

Capacitive Sensor¶

2Minute Capacative Sensor

Simple Capacitive Sensor with 1 LED

Coding for a Simple Capacitive Sensor with 1 LED

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

Modified Capacitive Sensor Code with 2 LEDs

}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
