This is a demonstration setup that allows you to plug a variety of resistive textile sensors into a Teensy and either read the sensor values as Serial communication, or midi commands. The textile sensors are designed with their leads ending in two 9mm metal snap fasteners – 1 male, 1 female. This snap connection connects to custom made 2-wire cables that have a mono audio-jack on the other end. The jacks can then plug into four different sockets that read the sensor values. Each jack is wired to an analog pin on the Teensy with a different different range potentiometer as it’s pull-up resistor – 10K, 50K, 100K, 250K.
The Textile Sensor Demo Station includes:
LDR crown
pressure sensor band for foot
Eeonyx stretch sensor for elbow or small knee
Eeonyx stretch sensor for breathing
Analog tilt sensor bracelet
Crochet squeeze sensor ball
