13. Skin Electronics

This week Filippo Massetti and Katia Vega introduced us to their work on skin electronics. .

Research

UC Davis Assistant Professor Katia Vega wrote her thesis on Beauty Technology as an Interactive Computing Platform. Her research involved making connected hair extensions and conductive makeup. .
Here are Emma Pareschi's slides: - [Skin Electronics tutorial] (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zTE7qs_59xFUviDHLGyy7WcKUvd39UP7)

Troubleshooting

I was having trouble following the 6 steps to program ATtiny with Arduino Uno.
.

I kept getting this message.

Erreur lors de la gravure de la séquence d'initialisation.

After lots of patience, and help from Louise, Julie and Diane, I quit Arduino, unplugged my USB cable and started Arduino again. Turns out that my mistake was that I had to use "processor ATtiny45" instead of the ATtiny85

ATtiny_led.ino

Here we explored how our bodies are conductive
