Summary

This has been another exciting chapter with a big learning curve – but so rewarding! I hope you find time to go back over some of the concepts and techniques and run through the project again, adding other data feeds or making a new dashboard. We looked at what a hyper-body system is and what the senses we can try to incorporate are. We looked at how to design, choose materials and components, and the importance of placement and planning. We then discussed building our projects up function by function – which we then put into practice. We started by adding the Adafruit QT Py ESP32-S2 board to Arduino, we added NeoPixels, then a heating pad, and then connected to an IoT service! It really was a busy chapter.

We’ve got the makings of an exciting wearable, and we will take our breadboarded work and turn it into a wearable garment in the next chapter as we learn techniques for how to sew and solder. This will bring our project to an exciting close and you...
