Shifting goals

As the semester and my research progresses my goals are continuously changing. In order to keep my head clear and shine some light on my process, I will be actively posting them as they go through major shifts.

complete documentation thoroughly

- point to felt tutorial
- how to make a stable soft resistor
- how to make conductive felt
- how to tighten tension – top and bobbin tension
- voltage divider
- importance of pull-up and pull-down resistor
- put up tutorials on the elemental techniques of each sensor i.e. the yarn/elastic/cond. thread stretch sensor

Steel Wool Focus
using steel wool in sheeps wool to make uniform circuits
looking up fimo buttons, it’s called making a cane, and then cutting it.

roll up sensor

digital switches using steel wool

test resistance of steel wool

look up website for steel wool alternatives

show designs of sensor

- illustrate and post four main sensors with schematics onto blog
- make break down of major components i.e. how the stretch sensor was made in large green snake sensor.
- take nice pix

use of sensors

- put sensors into people’s hands and ask them to use them or give feedback
- get feedback on the documentation of the sensors if I can not get them into peoples hands
- post videos of data graphs and user interaction of four sensors
