This week i decide to make a screaming scarf with Textilo. So when we walk on the street in a freezing day and tired of saying ” Pardon ” when people blocked our way , we can just easily push the button and make our scarf screaming to get people’s attention. It is interesting and it helps us to saved a lot of time by saying “Pardon” in a freezing day. >.<
(Since we did the first few steps together so i took the photos of the first few steps from the ppt.)
1 Cut a 5cm neoprene disc.
2 With a CNC machine cut the Flectron circuit following this schematic.
3 Remove the unwanted part of the circuit.
4 Place the circuit on the neoprene and iron it
5 Solder the 4 componetes (555 IC 100 ohms resistance, 10&100 mico capacitors) according to the schematics.
6 Test by placing a 3v to 15v battery on the PLUS& round pad undernearth it then a resistive sensor on the two upper pads(input) and then an actuator on the two lower pads(output).
7 Find a comfortable fabric and cut it into scarf shape, placed the sensor sounder,pad, and battery in a right way. Solder the battery and sounder on the pad.
8 Sew the sensor on the pad.
9 Sew two different line from the sensor to negative and positive side of the pad.
10 Cut down a small fabric to make a pocket for the battery and sew it on the scarf.
11 Sew it perfectly size for the battery and put the battery in it.
12 Check every part of the connects and sew the unstable part. Make sure everything connect well and works.
13 Finally sew the two side of the scarf together and here we are—- a beautiful but screaming scarf.
14 WEARING IT AND SCREAMING…..
