programming an Attiny¶

First load the sketch ArduinoISP to the arduino and how to see the attiny on the board: go to TOOLS>Board>BoardManager>Type Attiny, and select it

following the sketch and steps: SkinElectronics

Steps

Connect the Attiny to your Programmer:
AVR programmer
Arduino UNO (make sure that the Arduino is uploaded with the ARduinoISP sketch)
In Arduino IDE: Select board (attiny85 (internal 8MHz)) and port
In Arduino IDE: Select programmer, Arduino as ISP or FabISP
In Arduino IDE: If it is the first time YOU use the Attiny => Burn the bootloader
On Breadboard: connect the Attiny to your input/output devices
In Arduino IDE: Upload the code to the Attiny

Quick Fast prototype¶

For this week I decided to create a skin electronic that could be activated by the hand.

For that I thought of creating on circuit on a glove and placing a "switch" between the two fingers. So that when the fingers touches the light gets on.

It was quite labourious to make it work as I did'dn't have conductive thread or soldering with me during the last days and the connection of the led to the circuit was not perfect. I fanally find a way.

So the circuit starts from a battery (+) to the thumb the circuit start again in the other finger and go through a led then to the Battery(-)

Material I have used: - a fabric glove - conductive thread - conductive copper tape - a 3V battery - a Led with it's resistor integarated
