4. Mimeolight (dark gray)
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.
