Summary

What an amazing journey you’ve just completed in this chapter. We went from learning about the basics of electricity to making simple circuits, to understanding how we can make our own buttons and switches. You used crocodile clips, breadboards, and conductive fabrics. I hope you tried the activities and made notes of circuits that you’d like to make in the future. Practicing these skills is a creative and rewarding experience.

The components used in this chapter can be found at http://www.adafruit.com,http://tinkertailor.tech, and http://www.proto-pic.co.uk.

Now we look forward to learning about e-textile toolkits. These are microcontroller boards and components made for creating wearable projects. They are different from a standard rectangular Arduino board, but we can still use Arduino to program them. All the knowledge from the upcoming chapter will help you to build upon the skillset you’ve just acquired and help us to create more complex and...
