Hi, thanks for the great tutorial! I'm still slightly confused about the part from 6:00 onwards - does the iron on adhesive still conduct between the thread and the conductive fabric pad once ironed on? If I'm getting the order correct (felt->thread->adhesive->conductive fabric)
Generally yes, there is still a conductive connection because iron-on adhesive is porous. However this is why you should always test the connection with a multimeter to make sure!
Hi Becky, many thanks for the great tutorial. I am at the point of bonding the conductive fabric. I am confused about what to do with the long threads from behind the fabric. did you cut them? On my test, I placed the conductive fabric on the threads that are loose at the end. Thanks for your help!
I capture the tails of the threads under the bonded fabric whenever convenient. You can also use some glue or nail varnish to secure a knot - the thread tends to unknot itself when left on its own.
hello very didactic, your video, I ask you some questions 1- Could you help me link to the software 2- This microcontroller that uses trill needs the Arduino yes or yes to make the connection with the PC thanks in advance
Thank you. To answer your questions, yes you do need a microcontroller to read from the Trill sensor. Most microcontroller which support i2c will work, e.g. arduino, teensy, stemmaQT. Also raspberry Pi or Bela work really well. Here is more information: learn.bela.io/using-trill/get-started-with-trill/ The example which Becky uses at the end of the video is for Bela and can be found here: learn.bela.io/using-trill/trill-and-bela/ Here's the link for Arduino getting started guide and examples: learn.bela.io/using-trill/trill-and-arduino/
Couldn't you take out the microcontroller and place it directly on your fabric? Yes the connectors are small but then you'll not have such a big clunky metal think attached. With the microcontroller only, it's like nothing is there!
Yes, you definitely could. We have seen a few projects doing this with tiny wifi enabled microcontrollers which can then send the touch information on to another computer for sonification or visualisation. Also check out this project where the Bela Mini is embedded into an interactive blanket: blog.bela.io/kobakant-blanket/
Amazing tutorial Becky 🙌
This is so cool!! Thank you alot❤❤
Is it possible for you to make it portable?
Also what would it take the thread to stop working?
Thank you so much!!!

@@disastrid ahh that makes sense now, thank you ! so it's also a good place to remember as a potential source of loose connections later on

Where did you get the press fit snap and applicator tool from ?
Great! Thanks.
