In this chapter, you will learn about how to use the Wearic textile wetness sensor to detect if your garments got wet by liquids such as water and ice.
6.1 Wearic Wetness Sensor
The Wearic wetness sensor can detect small amounts of water or other liquids and ice on its substrate. The most common measurement principle for textile wetness sensors is a resistance measurement between two conductive electrodes. The support fabric on which the electrodes are built is an insulating material (e.g., polyester, cotton, polypropylene).
In the “dry” state, the textile wetness ...
