Week 8: Assignment

  

 

The first connector was the probe connector we’ve learned in class, we took off the inside of rope out and put in three conductive threads, then we make a knot around a pin and close it off using polymorph.

For my second connector(the bottom one of the image above), I paste copper tape onto a plastic stripe that is made out of a plastic sheet and on each side I put a paper clip into it. Then I solder the copper tape and the paper clip together.

For my third connector(the top one of the image above), I used the same method with the putting the conductive thread in but this time pulling the rope tighter so it makes a wave. On each side of the rope, I used a keychain ring and closed it using duck tape.

For my fourth connector(the bottom one of the image above), I did the same method as the rope we did in class but this time I used safety pins on the ends. I closed on safety pin with duck tape and another one using heat shrink tube.

It’s really great to find new fun ways to connect the circuit together.

Week 8 Assignment

Construct 3 more connector tools so your nodes can work together. You can connect paper to paper, fabric to fabric, paper to fabric, etc.
You may use any materials you like.

With your total of FOUR connectors (including the one you made in class), you should be able to light up both nodes.
