An e-textile prototype board developed by Alexandra Charland, aÌýCreative Technology & Design and computer science double-major, was featured on Hackaday, a popular hardware hacking website.
After completingÌýArielle Dispenza'sÌýsummer Object class, CharlandÌýworked with ATLAS PhD Student Chris Hill toÌýdevelop the prototype in the post, which is based onÌýThreadBoard,Ìýa magnetic breadboard for embedded computing that allows for the rapid prototyping of e-textile circuits. Charland's modificationÌýincludesÌýreusable tie points designed to work with an adhesive substrate,Ìýsuch as felt.Ìý
ThreadBoardÌýwas developed in CU Boulder'sÌýÌýand at theÌýATLAS Institute. ItÌýis based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under AwardÌý.ÌýÌý
