Hoy fue un día muy productivo y de reencuentros. Ay mi @elisabeth.lorenzi, siempre tan linda. Tu trabajo me tiene impresionada. Paso a paso me adentrare en el mundo de los biomateriales con proyecto a la vista. A su vez quiero trabajar con lo e-textil. Y aquí la versión de mi porta pilas en #crochet con patrón propio. El curso 2019/2020 viene con muchas novedades y yo súper feliz con esta nueva aventura. #crocheaddict #etextil #light #led #wearable #crochetlove #mydesign #handmade #maker #textil #handmadeisbetter #innovation #new #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/By3Gmo9CRf_/?igshid=13llfweg0r163

🎄ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR almost🎄 and what would Christmas embroidery be without some lights!? Yes, these LEDs are sewn into this ribbonwork wreath - powered by a battery on the back. I'm so impressed with myself 😂 fancy getting one of your own? Message me to order! This one (6inch) is €65

My last project this semester. The subject I worked with was fear. One of the requirements of this assignment was to implement the use of sensors and lights. My project has a «heartbeat» that react to loud sounds and speed up and intensifies. #textile #textileart #textileprint #embroidery #sewing #costume #art #artwear #etextiles #electronictextiles #adafruit #makecode #tekstil #tekstilkunst #broderi #søm #etekstiler

Help me, internet hive mind: I was given an @adafruit flora (and Gemma) and is there really no way to upload code to it from an iOS device‽ #wearablelectronics #microcontroller #etextiles #micropython #arduino https://www.instagram.com/p/CYPny4yLkqc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hot Pantz

Hot Pantz are a sleek, high waisted undergarment that soothe menstrual cramps on the go. This garment uses a thin heating fabric that targets cramping in the abdomen and lower back. It is designed to be sleek, not bulky, so it can be worn comfortably underneath your clothes. Its rechargeable lithium ion battery holds a charge for about an hour. Once it runs low, it can be powered with a USB from a computer or wall adapter, so you can have constant relief outside of bed.

The idea for this product came from my own relationship with my period, which recently, has been very painful. So painful that I’ve had to stay home because of how sick I feel. Heat has always been helpful in relieving my pain, but staying home with a hot water bottle on my belly is not really conducive to my lifestyle. So I wanted to create something that would soothe my menstrual pain while still allowing me to participate in my outside activities. 

In my first draftings of the design, I imagined the heating pad like a belt thats tightness could be adjusted to your body -- something similar to a money belt.

Here is the first prototype based on the initial design, using a neoprene and jersey fabric stuffed with a thin heating pad and velcro to fasten. 

But then I thought, why not create the heating pad in the form of clothing we are already used to wearing? Underwear! Here is one of the images that inspired the next iteration.

The moodboard I created featured highwaisted panties with loud prints after conversations with women who expressed wanting to have something like a fun secret underneath their clothing. 

Here are sketches of the new design, where the heating pads would be placed and how they would be powered, either in serial or in parallel.

The heating pads I used were a woven polyester with conductive thread sealed in a plastic film. I tested the amperage and voltage while the heating pads were wired in parallel and in series to see how much power I would need. 

I found a pattern for a high waisted panty online, bought cheap fabric, and started sewing away. Again, I had very little sewing experience before undertaking this project. 

I created a little pocket between the inner and outer fabric layers to hold the heating pad. But in the next iteration, I removed the plastic protective layer and sewed the heating fabric directly on to the inner fabric of the underwear.

I used a 3.7v battery with a power boost from Adafruit to bump it up to 5v so I could power the heading fabric. I used silicone wire as connections. 

For future iterations I’d like to experiment with all fabric connections and loose the silicone wires if possible. It would be great if we could have a soft battery as well. I’d also like to make a boy short/boxer brief style.

I build a soft case to hold the battery using leftover black neoprene and snapped it on with a metal button. Once the battery was unplugged from the garment, I hand washed and dried them and they still worked!

Week 11 - Embedded Time

PROMPT Construct a mini-project that reveals an embedded message, pattern, or behaviour using thermochromic ink.

This process has two important aspects -  THERMOCHROMIC INK The ink that turns clear when you apply heat to it. CONTROLLING HEAT Heating traced requires a lot of power. Arduino cannot provide as much current since we can’t draw more than 40mA from a pin. Hence we use an external power source with a  MOSFET N-Channel (FQP30N06L). Compared to a transistor, this is better at switching, requires a small amount of voltage to switch,  is very sensitive to static electricity and can handle more amperage + voltage.

MATERIALS 

SPARKFUN Thermochromic ink Turns clear at about 92F/33C (*Don't go over 200 deg C) Can be mixed with paint, glue, resin, Polymorph, Sugru, etc

EMBEDDED TIME

How might we show the time embedded in making an artefact? Asking the question - 'how is this made?' over 'what is made’. 

Instead of creating a painting, I simply made a frame. This was a cheeky way to show the amount of time and efforts put into creating this seemingly empty frame.

I first created a trace using silver thread. (2.5 hours were spent until this point in making this object). I tested it and it did not work. I re-calculated the resistance, checked the battery and my high load circuit - but it still did not work. After debugging with Liza I realised -that the silver thread provides negligible resistance. Since we need this to heat up - we need to use a more resistive thread like the steel thread.

VARIABLES Pigment - How much you include Binder, Paint, Base, etc - Can be mixed with paint, glue, resin, Polymorph, Sugru, etc Substrate - Paper (weight), fabric, etc Application- Brush, silkscreen, etc Ambient Temperature  -What is the temp in the room? Conductive material-How much resistance does it have? Goldilocks Rule

Using a steel thread worked. 

Final traces made using steel thread. Both the number 2 & 5 are connected!

This worked. However, it only worked for one letter. 

QUESTIONS The resistance for the entire length of  ‘2.5′ was double the resistance for the length of ‘2′. Perhaps I need something that can supply more current for this purpose. Or I may need to reduce the resistance in my high load circuit
