student handouts. The booklet is typically 24 pages in length and
covers activities from the design brief to evaluation.

There are work sheets on manufacturing an enclosure, the build


instructions for the project, information on debugging the project kit
and a description of how it works. All in all a wealth of information,
which you can choose from to make your lesson planning easier.

THE PCBs
Our PCBs use an industry standard FR4 quality board, manufactured PCB mounting
holes
using a lead free finish. We try to make the PCBs easy to assemble by
Component
providing component identification and ensuring that the identification
components are well spread out.
Quality FR4 PCB

On the underside of the board the pads are large for ease of soldering Large pads
and again where possible well spaced from adjacent pads. A solder A good sized gap
resist layer is present to ensure that the solder only goes on the pads, between pads
thus preventing unintentional solder shorts between tracks. Solder resist on
tracks

PROJECT KIT

Easy Build Kits


Light Switch Project
This kit is available in two variations, either as a light
activated switch or as a temperature activated switch. The
output of the board can be used to control other electronic
circuits, turning them on automatically when it goes light,
dark, hot or cold.

The board has space for an LED with current limit resistor
(both available separately) which will light when the output
turns on. The Darlington pair transistor configuration
allows an output current of up to ½ an amp to be
controlled.

Operating voltage 3V to 10V (lower voltages


allow for better adjustment of the switching point). Heat Switch Project

(WITH LATCH)

The board has a buzzer that sounds momentarily when


the loop makes contact with the wire. It also has an LED,
which latches on when the buzzer sounds via the use of a
thyristor. It then remains on so that even the briefest
contact of the loop with the wire can be indicated. A push
button is used to reset the LED.

The cables are supplied on reels with the


remaining parts being individually bagged.

Requires x3 AA batteries, available separately.

WIRELESS STEADY HAND GAME

With this steady hand game the connection from the loop
to the board is made by the body of the person using the
game, hence why it is called a wireless steady hand
game. If the loop touches the wire track then a buzzer
sounds for about a second (no matter how brief the
touch). The circuit uses a hex buffer IC to detect the
change in resistance when contact it made and the same
buffer IC with an RC network keeps the buzzer on for the
given time.
The solid cable is supplied on a reel with the
remaining parts being individually bagged.

Requires a PP3 battery which is available separately.

The circuit board then sits in the bottom of the jar


illuminating it. The butterfly shapes in this example
are designed on CAD and then ‘stickers’ are cut
from adhesive backed vinyl using a Craft Robocutter.
These stickers are then placed on the jar, which is
grit blasted to create the frosting. Finally the stickers
are removed to leave the finished design.

555 ASTABLE KIT (TONE GENERATOR)

This kit is perfect for GCSE students needing to use a 555


timer in its astable mode, where it produces a square
wave output. The frequency of the square wave is
adjustable via the variable resistor. The board has a
choice of two outputs. The logic output can be used to
drive another IC or a speaker can be connected so the
tone is heard (e.g. a door bell). The push button switch
connects to the reset line such that the IC is only active
when the button is pressed.

Requires x3 AA batteries and depending upon

provides an entry delay during which the system can be
disarmed, whilst a separate timer silences the alarm
after two minutes. Both of these timers are implemented
via a 555 timer IC. The alarm can be further enhanced by
using a simple key switch for arming / disarming or by
adding a magnetic door contact to activate it. The board,
battery pack & buzzer can be placed into a box designed
by the student.

CONDUCTIVE THREAD
Conductive thread is perfect for hand sewing and can be used on the bottom
bobbin of a sewing machine (this will require the thread to be wound on to the
smaller bottom bobbin first). Reels of conductive thread are, 50 yards/ 45m.
Conductive thread can be used like conventional sewing thread, however it
electrically conducts allowing electronics to be integrated into textiles.

Conductive thread - 45m bobbin 2722 £7.07 £6.24

CONDUCTIVE FABRIC
Conductive fabric can be used to make a soft switch. Only a small amount is
required per switch, so this sheet goes a long way. This is a conductive knit
fabric for use in e-textiles, similar to a nylon ripstop material. It is highly
conductive with a low surface resistivity.

ELECTRO-FASHION FLASHER
CONTROLLER, LEDS & THREAD
This unit offers a simple way of adding 'flashing' white LEDs to a textiles project. The unit is
programmed with a number of flashing patterns that are selected by a push button on the
main PCB. Pressing this button cycles through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly
on, slow flash (all on, all off), fast flash (each in turn), and turned off. The device features
auto off, which turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. Depending upon
flash pattern the battery lasts for approximately two days of constant use.
This kit is supplied ‘pre-built’ so requires no soldering. Each kit comprises three small
PCB’s. The largest of the three PCB’s holds an LED plus the control electronics, battery
and a push button. On both of the remaining PCB’s there is an LED, which are connected
to the main board with conductive thread.

Includes approximately 2m of conductive thread. Includes a CR2032 battery.

ELECTRO-FASHION LIGHT SENSOR


This board allows LEDs to be turned on automatically when it is dark. On one
side of the board is the coin cell holder, which takes a CR2032 coin cell as well as
a small on off slide switch. On the other side of the board is the light sensor.

The design means that it is possible to cut a small hole in the front of the product
for the light sensor to detect the light level, whilst also being able to get to the
back of the board to change the battery and turn the board off. When turned off
any connected LEDs will be off. When turned on the connected LEDs will be off in
day light but come on in the dark.

FREE TO DOWNLOAD RESOURCES

To help people new to Electro-Fashion get started we have worked with Julie Boyd to develop some free
online resources. These give detailed step by step explanations of how to make a product.

There are guides on adding a LED to a hat (both a standard LED and a slim line LED), making a zippi doll
with light up eyes & adding three LEDs to a bag. We are always working on more resources so it’s worth
keeping an eye on the website.

CHOOSING A PSU FOR YOUR LED STRIPS


LED strips are very easy to use, but you need to make sure the power supply has sufficient capacity for
the length of LED strips being used.

As all the colours of LED strips take about 400 mA per meter, the longer the length of strip the bigger
Components

the power supply has to be. To save you doing the maths below is a table showing the maximum length
for each of the power supplies. We have even added a new wall mount power supply which is good for
fixed installations of a couple of reels of LEDs.
