Description
This comprehensive guide to e-textile development introduces you to the Wearic smart textile kit and the BBC micro:bit, providing a modular prototyping platform for building projects and experiments. You'll learn how to program with the BBC micro:bit using MakeCode blocks, creating wearable devices that incorporate electronics, textiles, and fabrics.
Through a series of practical projects, you'll discover how to add lights, sensors, and attachments to your wearables, as well as create chemistry-based color-changing fabrics. You'll also explore the use of Bluetooth Low Energy and WiFi to send sensor data to mobile apps and IoT analytics platforms.
This book is designed for beginners in the e-textile industry, offering a comprehensive toolkit for fashion designers, makers, engineers, scientists, and students looking to get started with developing e-textiles. With no soldering or wiring required, you can start building projects quickly and easily.
