My first PCB!

Circuit Planning

Base Shirt

I created the design using Adobe Illustrator

Embroidering with an uninsulated yarn.

The PCB I designed burned out. This is my attempt to diagnose the issue.

Prototyping new coil configurations. Gold thread makes the coil look even more functional.

The circuit was embroidered using canvas as it is a more structurally stable interface.

The root cause of the circuit failure! The antenna line power dissipation was too high, and I burned out the voltage regulator.

Wearing the first shirt prior to destroying it for parts.

Final "mat."
