Musical Panties

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!

New Code: Sound Reactive Nightgown

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()                     [...]

Sound Reactive Garment

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.

New and Improved Gown

This is the second gown. I learned allot from the first one ( it has burnt holes in it now) and this one is made of cotton. I’m hoping it can resist the heat more than nylon and 10% spandex. But this fabric doesn’t move quite as easily so I”m trying to figure out how [...]

Using Relays with Arduino Lilypad

So the first night gown has been destroyed. Yes, it is now fried. The flexinol burnt right through it when I was running tests and… well, didn’t realize it was still on pumping 30volts through the dress for too long.
I found that using conductive fabric and thread was not effective in creating a solid connection [...]
