I made 3 connectors and 5 nodes in the class.

Week 8 Spearkers
I made my speakers on calligraphy paper with copper tape. The first one I made was the one on the bigger sized paper with a small circuit. The second one was the small paper with circuit to almost the edge of the paper. The last one I did medium sized paper with the circuit very, very close to the edge. I wanted to see if there would be a difference in the sound if I made the circuits all different sizes using the same materials. I experimented with different sizes of paper, copper tape, and circuit.

For my connectors I made two alligator clips and one with a safety pin. The second alligator clip one is constructed much better then the first, however they both work perfectly well!
Week #8 Assignment
This week I did connectors from different material in order to create current between the samples with the LED and the batteries.
Material:
Dock Tape
Copper tape
Clips
Nails
Aligator clips
Copper Wire
Conductive String

Week 8 Assignment
These are three connectors I made after class.
The first one is made of conductive thread, paracord, heat shrink and chip clips.
The second one is made of paper clips, conductive tape, and normal sealing tape.
The third one is made of safety pins, paracord, heat shrink, and conductive thread.
I used 4 connectors to connect my nodes and they worked.
Week 8 Assignment
The four connectors I made:
Pin, Paper Clip, Safety Pin, Clip
The hardest one to make was by far the clip because of attaching the adhesive conductive fabric to it. The other connectors were easier to make . Here is a photo of my four connectors attached to my nodes.
Week 8 Assignment – Song
- clip + paracord
2. heat shrink + hook
3. snap + fabric I wanted to use snaps but only one succeeded so I used a hook-like metal piece for the other side. Then the only pair of snaps broke x_x, so I had to add another piece of metal to attach to it.
Assignment 8: Connectors
Here are the four nodes I made:
(I realized that the paper one for the battery was wrong, so I changed it later), and here are the 4 connectors:
I mostly focused on creating connectors that would be easy to clip on and take off because I usually have a really hard time doing that without damaging the circuit or accidentally unplugging a wire.
I also wanted to make connectors that would damage the materials the least. For instance, the bobby pin/and paper clip would be perfect to easily slide on and off of materials that can get wrinkly very quickly. The pin and safety pin would be great for pinning fabrics.
Assignment_08
Here are the four connectors I made:
I made two with the clips because I realized that the first one I made was too short. The last connector I made was a battery connector. I feel that this one will be one of the most useful connectors I will use. It’s always a pain to use alligator clips and a battery holder when prototyping, and to have a more secure battery connector will be helpful.
