GPN17:Electronic GeekBag

aus dem Wiki des Entropia e.V., CCC Karlsruhe

Ein Vortrag von shinnamon auf der GPN17.

What

We like to get you interested in sewable electronics. Therefore we put together a project we call "GeekBag" to give you a project to try this out for yourself.

We have kits (a limited amount), support, all the tools you need.

So just drop by and if you like, build yourself a bag.

And this is how they look like:

Bag?

The "kids" kit is 11€ and contains:

  • the bag
  • a motive
  • a coin-cell holder and a coin-cell battery
  • 2 LEDs


The "smart" one is 33€ and contains:

  • the bag
  • a motive
  • a Microcontroller-Board (Adafrutit-Gemma)
  • a brightness sensor
  • a LiPo-Battery
  • either 2 normal LEDs or 2 RGB-LEDS (NeoPixel)
  • (Lipo-Charger not included)


a LiPo charger is sold separately for 7€ if you need one


The "smart" bag can be programmed by Arduino and we have example code that:

  • turns off the eyes when the sensor gets bright
  • occasionally blinks, winks and some 'hypno'-animation

Resources?
