Beginning e-Textile Development : Prototyping e-Textiles with Wearic Smart Textiles Kit and the BBC micro:bit Paperback / softback
by Pradeeka Seneviratne
Paperback / softback
Description
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) involves the combination of electronics and textiles to form "smart" textile products.
It is an emerging technology with immense opportunities in the field of wearables fashion technology. And while there are many e-textile development platforms available on the market, this book uses the Wearic smart textile kit, a modular prototyping platform, to get you building projects and experiments easily and quickly. This book presents the essential skills required to get started developing e-textiles.
The code presented is built using MakeCode blocks, an easy-to-use visual programming language.
You'll use the BBC micro:bit microcontroller for all the projects, and with few exceptions, they require no soldering and wiring.
In the end, you'll be able to apply and sew electronics to wearables, garments, and fabrics in this emerging technology. Beginning e-Textile Development presents the essentialcomponents to get you started with developing e-textiles.
What You'll LearnProgram with the BBC micro:bitAdd lights to your wearables using LED textilesUse different textile sensors to measure heat, detect water, actuate attachments, and enable sense touch and pressureActuate attachments on wearables with muscle activity and heartbeatMake chemistry-based color-changing fabrics using thermochromic pigmentsUtilize Bluetooth Low Energy to send sensor data to mobile apps and WiFi to send sensor data to the ThingSpeak IoT analytics platform serviceWho This Book Is ForBeginners to the e-textile industry seeking a comprehensive toolkit.
Fashion designers, Makers, engineers, scientists, and students can all benefit from this book.
