Yes folks, the musical panties are still underway. It is part of my musical undergarment work (check out the musical bra and digital bra).

It has been stalled a bit due to my thesis work – but it is pretty much complete. I’ve find a tiny musical toy that will be perfect for the panties!

I received some code from Kurt for the arduino that is similar to the code created for the Sound Reactive Nightgown:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

int ledPin = 13;                // LED connected to digital pin 13
int audPin = 0;
int val = 0;

void setup()                    // run once, when the sketch starts
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // sets the digital pin as output
pinMode(audPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()                     // run over and over again
{
val = analogRead(audPin);
Serial.println(val);

if (val < 300) {
myMove();
return;  //check this in the references // also try “exit;”
}
else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // sets the LED off
}
}

void myMove() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // sets the LED on
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Thanks!

University of Denver student Sarah Soriano sewed daily layers onto a suit based on a key relationship in her life. UWIRE’s Rosalyn Oshmyansky has the story.

Sound Reactive Gown

Sound Reactive Gown

The nightgown reacts to high voice levels and was made as a result of the 56 day performance. The nightgown illustrates increased sensitivity within the relationship.

The microphone, located near the left shoulder of the gown, requires a loud noise to trigger the garment. The gown will remained ‘stressed’ if activated frequently.

Gown is triggered by high voice levels

The gown was made with the Lilypad Arduino, flexinol, microphone, and 2 relay switches.

Gown circuit

Gown circuit: The microphone sends information to the Lilypad. A specified volume level switches the first relay switch. This then triggers another relay switch that is connected to flexinol sewn into the gown.
