After playing around with Freetouch to make a knitted fabric switch, it was found that the sensor reading varied depending on the type of interactions. For example, prodding the fabric resulted in a much lower sensor reading than grabbing the fabric. Based on this observation, I played around with how to use Freetouch and knitted […]

For this project, I wanted to create an interaction that would seamlessly combine the natural and the digital to make a cohesive project which sparked wondering and curiosity. I was inspired by the idea of a fairy garden and wanted to make a plant that would produce the same enchantment. I planned this project around

Air Quality Prediction is a project that balances Arduino development and Machine Learning. I have always found the world of machine learning captivating but was never able to run models on real-time data. Arduinos provide the solution with a vast array of sensors supported on their microcontrollers. As a result, I knew that I wanted
There are many smart devices available to us that are able to detect our heart rate and other bio data by using a method called photoplethysmography (PPG), a concept of how blood is able to reflect red light while absorbing green light. The device can detect the amount of blood flowing, so when there’s more

A handy-dandy portable device for testing e-textile sensors on the fly. Sometimes your electronics workspace and your textiles workspace are not the same places. You want to make multiple samples and test them, but then you have to carry your whole electronics prototyping kit (laptop, breadboard, crocodile clips, Arduino etc) and do all the setup.

Why do you want to stop touching since it is part of our human nature? Well, it is all because of the virus floating around. Health officials keep telling the public to stop touching faces when they couldn’t help. So I decided to use some technology to help. Supplies: Hardware M3 Hex socket head screw: https://amzn.to/39pA0bL M3 Flat

This instructable is part of the course Physical Interaction and Realization at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology. We are going to teach you how to build two, quite organic and interactive plant-lamps, Thorulf and Svamp. Thorulf is a plant with flex sensors and LEDs while Svamp is a collection of mushrooms with circular force sensors. They are connected via Bluetooth and

Ever wondered how the chameleon changes its colour through the changes in environmental colours? There’s something called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH. If you want to dig more into this please follow this Link. The stories apart, I wanted to build ambient lighting system or something like the chameleon. This looks cool and also it helps

In this Instructables I’ve come with an idea that can be implemented to existing 3d printed prosthetic hands. In existing electrically powered prosthesis I Couldn’t find the use of capacitive touch sensing technology for the actuation of fingers. This project combines two very cool things, Arduino with Capacitive touch sensing for the actuation and remix of e-NABLE Phoenix hand design.
