Summary

This chapter worked you through some difficult circuits that implemented both the inputs and outputs that we’ve been learning about. Through the exercises, we increased complexity in our circuits, to help us to understand how to build complexity in wearables that can serve a purpose. As we progress through this book, the way to make and consider social conscience wearables will become clearer, and I hope that thinking about wearables in this way motivates you to also consider the purposes behind the wearables you make.

Some of the pitfalls when using different outputs is that we need to be aware of the I/O pins we need and select an e-textile board that will suit our needs. This sometimes means that we must compromise on the size or shape of the wearables we make. Also, sometimes, these added complexities add to the code complexities. This will take time and practice to get right but there are a lot of forums and resources available for you. Arduino is a good place...
