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.

The [...]

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 [...]

Circuit for Sound Activated Garment

I had to reconfigure some circuitry for the sound activated night gown. I will have to use 20-30volts of power through the garment to get the flexinol to all react at one as opposed to it slowly moving across the circuit which would mean you would need to continue yelling into the microphone for about [...]
