Re: [Controllers] [sudo-discuss] Controllers Digest, Vol 2, Issue 2 - Controllers

23 May 2013

Hol,

Oh, d'oh -- actually the lilypad arduino isn't broken. I poked around and
the Arduino IDE wasn't set correctly to the lilypad--I had it set to a
standard Arduino (uno). So that's why it wasn't able to upload my sketches.

So if you are getting into the lilypad make sure the arduino ide on your
computer has that settings set up!

My circuit didn't work--I'm getting another alligator clip system before I
start sewing. Wearable electronics are tricky because it's easy for the
threads to cross the wires, and sometimes it seems the connections don't go
through.

- on another site (becky stern's) I saw that using clear nailpolish to seal
the end of the threads is a good idea.

I started putting stuff up on gitorious and github - hope to eventually get
more people to get into this!

  what voltage were you supplying to the board?  from
the pic you sent out
 it looked like a single 1.5v battery, whereas the minimum is 3.3V btu more
 commonly 5V.  what error message did you get?

 I think the cheap lilypad i got is bust--from the error messages and what
 i get on stackoverlfow it might be a ahrdware issue, so I didn't get to get
 anything working. Can't even upload my sketches! dang.

 but I did get some basic code up . i forked it off
a nyu student becky  stern's project...

   Tomorrow is MicroController hack night.
I'm working on Lillypad Arduino
   (wearable electronics)

    It's nice, I was able to get more
done in the past 2 days than I have in
   the past few weeks... and with a full-time
job too! It's weird. I guess I
    was just very good at avoiding listening
to people pitch stuff. It's does
   wonders for productivity.

   I'm not sure if I can be very helpful
tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I
   am not going to be so interested in
hearing about people's kickstarters but
   it's all good.
   I just want to give happy energy at making
and there will be a project that
   will lead to nice things.

   Useful videos to watch. I like these
because I actually do stuff seeing
   these... they will not get you stuck in
the "not doing" cycle of doom.
   These are very relevant videos for
beginners.

      - Becky Stern was an NYU New Media Lab
graduate - her embroidery +
      arduino videos are very helpful
      -

      - Leah Buchley came up with the Lilypad
design - she is cool -

   Some parts of SudoRoom aren't quite
prettily decorated with art. In the
   long term future I would love to donate
lace-dripped electronics and
   embroidery to be part of useful things
like the door project.
