IAT320 - Day2: Production Process


With the Arduino Board, we first programmed the Arduino code and tested the results with LED's on the breadboard. Afterwards, we moved on to embedding the LED's and sewing the contact points onto the glove. LED's and the contact points are all connected and sewn on the glove by connective threads. In order to connect everything together, we had to make sure that none of the connective threads touched each other. Our solution was to sow the threads in between the glove's stitching to hold the thread in place and minimize probability of different threads making unneccessary contact. Most of the contact points on the gloves are sewn with double threads to increase the contact area. Then we secured the wire notches onto the glove with connective thread and link each wire to their destined contact point individually.
