5. E-textiles

Research

de-textile "This week will be playfull + physics + electronics + design" Starting a week with e-textile a field still in developing and research and considered early stage yet. eventhough it was the start for everything from e-wearables such as your smartwatch and more electronics in research and maybe the e-ship that can read your mind one day !!

This week started not too easy but the more you go with ... the more you understand the logic and for me finding many sources for information on internet about electonics was definatly helpful aligned with fabricademy.

Let's start the journey togather with a breif explination of :

What's E-Textile?

What is etextiles? It is by nature a hybrid discipline. Embedding electronics into textiles using conductive threads/fabrics; new functionality and aesthetics to textile artefacts; can be on the body or everyday interfaces. Craft techniques; high low tech.

What is circuit?

A circuit is a path for electrical energy to flow. This electrical energy is called current. All circuits must have a power source and output or load.

footnote fabrication files

Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// 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
}
