Bryce and Matt were invited to conduct a workshop at the Adidas Wearable Sports Electronics Division located in Wilmington Delaware on Fat Tuesday (hence the beads). The topic of the day was the wearable and textile electronic prototyping. We had a quick introduction but most of our day was spent diving head first into the use of the Arduino Lilypad. Bryce expressed “I have never seen such an ambitious group, these guys weren’t going to settle for blinking LED’s. . . They were able to grasp the logic behind the Arduino code faster than any group I’ve seen.” The group went on to experiment with several types of digital and analog sensors with quite impressive results.
Attached is the code that was prepared by Matt and Bryce to help help solve some of the common issues they thought the newcomers might face. Of course if you need the Arduino software it is available here and don’t forget to check out the site of the developers Leah Beuchley and SparkFun.

How did the workshop go?

The workshop was great but we had a lot to fit into one day. I was amazed at how quickly the group grasped the Arduino logic.
