E-Books →Make Wearable Electronics, 2nd Edition

This book explains how sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators can be incorporated into clothing to create wearable interactive systems.
This book is for people who want to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with wearable electronics. This includes students, researchers, hackers, makers, fashion designers, engineers, industrial designers, developers, costume enthusiasts, artists, and textile mavens. Whatever your discipline is, this book invites you to play, challenge, and create with, in, and about wearable electronics.
There are (at least) two perspectives from which you might approach this book:
* You know some stuff. There's a broad range to this. Maybe, once upon a time, you used an Arduino to blink an LED at a workshop. Or maybe you run a design firm that produces massively robust interactive installations in museums, and now you've got a client who wants you to generate a prototype that's wearable. Either way, you know enough to have a sense of what universe you're in. This book will help you build on what you already know and might even lead you into some areas you didn't expect.
* When it comes to electronics and programming, you're a bit of a n00b. Maybe you're a fashion designer who realizes that interactivity in clothing is something you would like to wrap your head around. Or perhaps you're a sociologist developing a data-collection system that includes sensors that live on the body. Or maybe you're an artist with a newfound interest in self-tracking. In any case, there are likely many things in this book you may not have heard of before. If you're in this category, take this advice: Be brave. It's OK if things are new or you don't understand something on the first go. This book might be your gateway to new things you didn't even realize you wanted to learn. Stick with it-it's interesting stuff!
