11. Open Source Hardware - From Fibers to Fabric¶
Research & Ideation¶
My research on weaving technology was motivated by an exploration of the evolution of the loom. Early weaving techniques utilized basic tools, such as the warp-weighted loom, which depended on gravity to maintain tension. Subsequently, portable devices like the backstrap loom demonstrated how weaving practices adapted across different cultures and environments. Over time, innovations such as the heddle system and the flying shuttle increased efficiency and productivity, resulting in significant advancements during the Industrial Revolution. The development of the Jacquard loom, which used punched cards to control patterning, marked a major milestone by introducing automation that influenced the design of modern digital systems.

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
}
