Knitted finger sensors

Abstract

E-textiles offers artists, designers, and educators a crafty, tactile way to make custom sensors. In this hands-on e-textiles workshop, participants will assemble an e-textile sensor, the finger sleeve, connect it to Arduino, and experiment with using it to control light and sound. Along the way, we'll cover the electronics theory that makes it work, and look at how to apply this theory in designing your own e-textiles.
