Week1 Narrative
For the BioFeedback project, I was first given materials. They included a straitjacket, a plaster mask with tubing already hot glued on, a sewing needle, thread, and a LilyPad. We were told to pretty much play around and get comfortable with our materials so I learned more about the LilyPad. It was made specifically for clothing, so I can probably attach it by sewing it to the jumpsuit or another clothing piece. It can create different patterns and lights, etc.

Week2 Narrative
Over the weekend, I took off the old LilyPad Arduino from the original project used last year. Most of the lights connecting to them were not working and were very dull so they did not shine brightly. I wanted to attach the LilyPad Arduino to a new cloth piece using the embroidery wheel, and to attach new lights that actually work. I also took to trying to get the lights to work, so I just found some online set-up to help me get started on the figuration and outline, etc. of the LilyPad because its workings is still confusing and new to me.

I used Becky Stern's video and code in my LilyPad to basically check to make sure I had set up all of the threads and connectors right. Her blog: http://makezine.com/2009/04/11/craft-video-lilypad-arduino-bike-pa/



Week3 Narrative
I attempted to add a switch to the LilyPad so when you press it, a different and new pattern will appear. But it did not work when the switch is pressed. Maybe something wrong with the sewing pattern? Or coding. Must go and try to see what is wrong.
