Now connect the (+) on the mimeolight to the "L" on the learning sensor.
Again, before completing the circuit, power the mimeolight by touching the
thread to the (+) on the battery holder.
It should flash. You can
change the flashing pattern now if you like, or later.
5. Diamond lightboards (gray)
Connect the diamond lightboards to the "O" hole on the mimelight.
6. Calibrate switch (purple)
Sew the other end of the black push switch to the "C" hole on the learning
sensor.
Now is a good time to apply some fabric glue to keep your thread
from unravelling at the ends.
If some of your stitches need to cross over others, keep them from touching
by jumping on the other side of the fabric.
7. Velcro switch (red)
Sew one end of the velcro switch to the (+) of the battery holder, and
the other to the (+) of the learning sensor.
8. Testing and finishing
Insert the battery back in the holder, and push the calibrate switch to set
the medium temperature range.
All lights should blink in sequence.
When you
let go of the switch, the emerald lightboards should stay lit.
When the temperature gets hot, the ruby lightboards come on
(try breathing on the sensor to test it).
When it gets cold, the diamond lightboards flash
(touch the sensor with a cold spoon, or take it outside).
Dab some more fabric glue to keep the knots from unraveling.
Apply puffy fabric paint to insulate all your stitches.
We're working on a better power solution for these kinds of installations.
Perhaps a rechargeable battery connected to a solar panel.
