Electric Bodies 2 -WEARABLES

E-TEXTILES BASICS

Conductive thread can be used like conventional sewing thread, however it electrically conducts

allowing electronics to be integrated into textiles.

THINKING WITH THINGS

Something is lost when we limit interactions to pressing or clicking — our bodies are capable of so much more.

RESISTORS AND LEDS:

Some LEDS come with built in resistors, others need you to add a resistor.

resistors help to prolong the life of your led by limiting current. Check spec sheet (usually available on suppliers site)

of your led to work out the power it needs and whether it needs a resistor. Here is a guide to choosing resistors:
