Texting mat using arduino

Lusha and May created a “Text-Mat”. This surface can allow the user to write and send messages using one’s feet. This text-mat is designed to send secret messages during meetings or classes. The design utilizes conductive fabric and thread, as well as a flora-board. The program contains 7 preset sentences. The user can press a button to select the appropriate sentence and then a final button to send.

Step 2:

 Next, we cut the wool, felt and conductive fabrics to the desired sizes.

Step 3:

3. We then used the sewing machine to sew the fabrics together.

Step 4:

. 4. Next, we sewed the conductive thread to make a circuit with the conductive fabric.

Step 5:

5. Then we ironed the edges flat.

Step 6:

6. Then we connected the flora board into the circuit.

Step 7:

7. We prepared the following code for the flora: _________
