I printed the static textile patterns in different colors with mixed pigments into thermochromical paint;

In the example shown the voltage is turned on , that´s why the heated thread colored the pattern. The static pattern becomes dynamic;
The informations are shown in a material-specific way!

the first prototype; I want to control the heated thread directly , but it very long time to fade into another color.
I take the arduino lillypad to a darlington transistor to switch 9 Voltage to the fabric and it works!

.the sensors; I want to create a digital on/ off when something put on the tablecloth! I build six textile switches with conductive thread and normal thread to keep the two layers apart. The picture shows the bottom side of the second layer;

the finished sewed second layer;
a conductive thread with high resistance for creating heat-

The bottom layer contained the arduino, input drifts, energy sources and transistors;

I build a connection between the layers
