MATERIALS & CRAFTMANSHIP
28th + 30th September 2009 IDC, Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg as part of the Physical Computing course Gothenburg, Sweden
LED with Light Sensor
By using light sensor with transistor switch, you can make a “LED that turns on when dark” circuit without bothering with microcontrollers.
Crochet LED Throwie
LED throwie is a great project from Graffiti Research Lab. So, as a contribute to their project, I made a “Granny Throwie”, LED throwie made with crochet.
Conductive Tapes
A variety of conductive fabric, copper and aluminum tapes are available. Some have conductive adhesive and some not. Some make good electrical connections by simply overlapping ends, and some do not. Copper tape is great for soldering to.
Thin nose pliers
Thin nose pliers are useful for making loops at the end of components like LED, capacitor, resistor.. so on. Also, it is often used to pull out needle when sewing in neoprene.
