2. SEW, IRON, AND WIRE
Now sew or iron on the conductive thread or tape,
sew down the resistive fabric, and make the rest
of your connections as indicated in Figures
G
and
H
. Make sure the center wire — the “wiper” of
the potentiometer — is long enough to contact
the resistive fabric, and also loose enough to spin
around the snap.
TEST AND/OR CODE YOUR
SOFT SENSORS
Every DIY sensor is different, depending on
how much resistive material you use and the ...
