Getting Started with Adafruit FLORA: Making Wearables with by Becky Stern, Tyler Cooper

By Becky Stern, Tyler Cooper

This ebook introduces readers to construction wearable electronics tasks utilizing Adafruit's tiny flowers board: at 4.4 grams, and purely 1.75 inches in diameter, and that includes Arduino compatibility, it's the main beginner-friendly option to create wearable tasks. This booklet exhibits you the way to plot your wearable circuits, stitch with electronics, and write courses that run at the vegetation to manage the electronics. The plants family members contains an collection of sensors, in addition to RGB LEDs that allow you to upload lighting fixtures in your wearable tasks.

Example text

Place the solid inner ring on your work surface, then lay your fabric over it. Place the outer adjustable ring over the inner ring, sandwiching the fabric like the head of a drum (Figure 4-2). Tighten the adjusting screw, meanwhile pulling the fabric taut in the hoop (Figure 4-3). Both should be very tight, or you’ll end up readjusting it more times than necessary during stitching. Figure 4-4 shows the fabric ready to be stitched. If your hoop has a “grip lip” on the solid inner circle, it should be facing up when you set up your fabric.

Leave a four-inch tail (10 cm) at the back of the fabric (Figure 4-5). Later you can use this tail to tie a knot, but for now just let it hang out. While building projects you might leave an even longer tail that you can thread back onto your needle for attaching to components! 38 Getting Started with Adafruit FLORA Figure 4-5. Leave a long tail when starting out Pierce your needle through the fabric again, this time from the front to the back, a short distance away from where the thread emerged.

Stitch two buses, one for power and one for ground (Figure 4-12), then handstitch pixels between them, running another thread inside the bus with the threads you stitched down until you reach the next pixel, at which point you can whipstitch around the board’s pad (Figure 4-13). Figure 4-11. Machine-tacking conductive threads Figure 4-12. Power and ground buses 44 Getting Started with Adafruit FLORA Always tie knots away from components, as nail polish soaking between the conductive pad and the thread can insulate the connection and prevent your circuit from conducting electricity.
