whoops

Didn't look at when the blog was due, I assumed it would be with the project.

I have the resistive swatches sewed on, working on connecting them to my lilypad.  Rather difficult not to have cross-over from the A's and +... maybe I should have rotated the thing.  too late now.

I got the 1/4 neopixel soldered.  without a separate power source (ugh, read product descriptions, people) I am playing it safe by only using one of the 4 pieces I bought.  They are impressively bright, for wanting 5 V and only getting 3.3V.  Anyway, I soldered on some wires to curl and sew around: for the circuit as well as simply anchoring it a little better.  Had two of them snap on me already.  not ideal.

Janell's man has been very helpful concerning programming, and the specific circuit of my glove.  He figured out a clever way to have each finger addressed by a different A pin, and two states depending on where on the swatch is touched.

Oh yeah, I sewed on some conductive fabric to the tip of my thumb... ended up making it too loose.  heh.

All that's left is mostly just a lot of sewing that I have been procrastinating, since I hate getting back aches.  :/  I hoped to stick the ribbon to my arm straps/suspenders with the craft lab sewing machines, but they are space age things I don't know how to work safely.  Er, some code, too.  I didn't wanna mess with code until things were connected.  I'm pretty confident I should be able to map etc etc easily after having the function explained.  Again, its just a matter of time.  Would not be end of the semester without at least one all-nighter, right?

Alas, I won't make it to craft lab tonight either, because I was foolish and said I would close at the pizza place for someone with an interview down south.  I think, I think I can hack it.  Just a lot of putting things together.  As soon as my thermo and Computer Science are done.  AKA: Tuesday.  lots of sewing on tuesday!

Maybe I'll do some while watching the CS lectures.
