HOW TO: Conductive-Thread Circuit
Working with conductive thread is a first step into
the world of soft circuitry. When using conductive
thread, electrical connections are sewn rather
than soldered. This allows you to create circuits
that are soft and pliable.
Before you start assembling the circuit, you
should prepare your parts. In order to sew the
LED and resistor in place, you will need to modify
their shape a bit.
For this technique, you can use any through-hole
component that has long legs.
Let’s use an LED. You will also need a pair of
needle-nose or round-nose pliers.
Parts and materials:
• (1) CR2032 battery
• (1) CR2032 ...
