Alarmed Diary

Wearable Technologies - Soft Circuit Project

* Embedding soft circuit and joining techniques.

* Final Project - Alarmed Diary

- If the book is unzipped, the alarm sound is produced.

* A zipper is used as a switch.

   

* A notebook is used to simulate a diary.

* The cover us taken out.

* Cut a piece of cloth (measure according the size of the book, minus the binding space).

* Design the circuit look (Using the pattern of the tree branch, most diaries have a lot of flowery patterns).

* Draw the patterns on the aluminium foil and cut it.

* Place the aluminium foil on the cloth that has been cut before.

* Place the iron - on joining fabric below the aluminium foil.

* Place a piece of wax paper above the aluminium foil (Wax paper would not stick with the joining material).

* Iron on the wax paper.

* Take the wax paper out, the aluminium foil is now joined with the cloth.

* Test. 

* The LED lights up.

   

* Making a cover for the book using cloth.

* The zipper will be sewn on this cloth later.

   

* Cut out the unnecessary part.

* MISTAKE : Aluminium in the middle should not be the whole line, it should be divided into two parts (cut in the middle, two pieces of the aluminium  foil should not touch each other), otherwise, the current keeps running there.

   

* Sewing the zipper on the cloth.

* Front and back view.

   

* Sewing the cloth.

* Outside and inside look.

* In the process of sewing.

* Place the soft circuit inside the book.

* Battery is attached at the back of the book.

* LED lights up.

* Due to small contact points in the previous circuit, the shape is changed back to the ordinary circuit pattern, the rectangular pattern.

* Sewing done.

   

* Testing purpose (using an LED).

* LED is off when the zipper is closed and on when the zipper is opened.

* Attaching the buzzer, LED is removed.
