workflow
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
