Joan Dress: March 2007
http://wearables-chootka.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Saturday, March 31, 2007. Today I researched how to connect to the internet via my phone by looking at the (ITP's) mobile ubiquitous computing class' website. I was successful in gettinga text message sent through my phone, to my gmail account, and back to my phone, via php and perl. Thursday, March 29, 2007. I give thanks to Mouna. For h...

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Thursday, April 12, 2007. I switched from using mosfet drivers to a simple darlington transistor (TIP120) for each thread. This will suit my purpose well enough. I set up my test circuit, and it's all working wonderfully!

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Thursday, April 19, 2007. Used hot glue to insulate board and bare threads. also used interfacing over components and their thread, to insulate from other components. I am getting a voltage reading of around 3v off my thread, but i can't even light up an LED with it. Bootloader has stopped working in arduino. Add in other batteries. Analo...

Joan Dress: Final Summary
http://wearables-chootka.blogspot.com/2007/04/final-summary_24.html
I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. What, Why, How. I wrote a java app that communicates with the dress via bluetooth, which pings a php script responsible for reporting the server's number of hits for the week. The user is required to fire up the app on their cellphone, which initiates the datascraping and transmission process. 2 - 1k resistors.

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Wednesday, April 4, 2007. Today I'm going to get in touch with a couple people to figure out how to connect to the internet via my cellphone. Get cellphone to connect to net and return data to arduino. Build working mosfet circuit with basic on/off code. See how long battery drains with just one thread attached. Create design for dress.

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Monday, April 16, 2007. Actually get data going back n forth between bluetooth in circuit and laptop bluetooth. Having trouble parsing multiple data sets. Debugged my arduino processing code. If device's BT connection is dropped, device should be set to 'disconnected'. status = disconnected. Put software on cellphone for portability.

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Saturday, April 7, 2007. Received my silk screen and conductive thread today! I'm going to be working on setting up a circuit using a mosfet driver and looking at j2me stuff for developing a java app for my cellphone. The application I eventually write will be responsible for retreiving data off the net for me, with the help of php.

I'm working on a garment, a dress specifically, that connects to the net and displays its activity via conductive threads and thermochromic inks appiled to its surface. Sunday, April 15, 2007. Mixed my inks together: Black thermochromic regular screen inks (hot pink, electric blue, and bright orange). I'm using Versatex water-based screen inks, as my 'regular' screen ink. I planned on using abc no rio. To silkscreen, but they are only available tues/weds/thurs for 2.5hrs each day :(. Everything lit up as...
