it fabric again...

i guess this will be the longest post in my blog...


as you all can see...i decide to hack open the laser/LED pointer and use it for my term 2 project...(soft circuit la...) and let me tell you this...it is not easy to hack...or should i say tear open the body of the laser pointer...i spent like nearly 30 min just to open it...



because the laser pointer run by 4.5 volt...i have to confirm it so that i will not burn the circuit...well...this is the secooooond laser pointer...what happen to the first one....well...haha...



after testing the circuit...i move on to the wire-on technique...using the 12 volt battery...(don't worry...i TEST already...)



sewing and sewing...oh ya i also got use resistor...



these two wire thread is for the switch later on...



after confirming and all the testing... i use a special type of spray to spay on the fabric...and well... it stick...



building a cover for the battery...



using the glove will enhance the interface of my work...



and so...i decided to use conductive fabric as the switch for turning on and off the laser pointer and LED light...but in the end...it doesn't work quite well...and so...



i use the conductive button as the switch...



there it goes...i call this Final Glove...(because that is my final laser/LED pointer...that why it is final...)

Fabric again...

this is the term 2 class work...and our title is called the soft circuit...
the exercise here is call the iron-on technique with using conductive fabric, a special felt that will stick on any cloth permanently when iron (that why is call iron-on technique) and tracing paper...


well i did try on other material but somehow is was wrong...hey...everyone makes mistake ok...and i think it is normal to make mistake during the 5th attempt...opps...first attempt la...

after that...the next following week we were suppose to create our own technique...so...


ta-da...this is my technique...i called this wire-on technique...

Trying other stuff on prototype...

This is my prototype...and at the right side is my very helpful lecture...without his help i don't think i will be able to finish my work on time...



this section here is trying out different kind of setup...what i wanted to do is that to create a interface that look like DJ set...


so what i do is that i use a transparent disc to act as the audio disc...and the can is for narrowing the vision of the webcam...


see the middle...it is the one that secure the disc...at first i wanted to cut it out and assemble it to the middle of my touch screen surface...if you notice...all the disc and the disc holder(the one that secure the disc) are all transparent...
