Whether you want to make a heated knee brace, an interactive wall display using light and touch, or a jacket with lights for biker safety, this workshop is designed to teach you the fundamentals to apply to your own projects.
Together, we'll learn to make a heating pad warm-up and we'll learn to read data from pressure sensors. We'll also learn the basic terminology, giving you the tools to understand a basic tutorial from Adafruit or Sparkfun. More experienced students can learn more about using flexible and unique electronics in their prototypes.
*All course videos and materials will be published and shipped by April 30th 2021.
*Price does not include shipping. All shipping is done by UPS and international shipping is $110.00*

About the LOOMIA Prototyping 101 Pack:
The LOOMIA Prototyping 101 Course Pack comes with everything you need to get going with electronic prototyping. This Pack is designed to introduce you to our most popular parts, and to give you hands-on experience with both inputs and outputs - the two main kind of electronic components.
LOOMIA Prototyping 101 Packs each include:
• Arduino Uno
• Alligator Clips
• Jumper wire
• Resistor set
• Breadboard
• NPN Mosfet
• 2 3.7V Lipo batteries
• 3.7V lipo battery charger
• Thermochromic paper
• 1 LOOMIA Simple Pressure Sensor
• 1 LOOMIA Backlit UI Button
• 1 LOOMIA heater
About the Parts:
Single Backlit Button: The single backlit button is a simple mechanical switch that comes with an LED inside. When you press the button, the circuit is completed, driving your pin high or low. Use the embedded LED to make a glowing power icon, logo , or whatever you desire.
Single Pressure Sensor : The mini single pressure sensor gives you an analog read that maps to force on the sensor. The more you press, the lower the resistance goes, perfect for on-body pressure related sensing like ribcage expansion for breathing. This sensor is small but mighty, making it convenient for small surface area applications.
5V-7.2V Heater: This heater made to work with an off-the-shelf, 5V battery pack or two lipo batteries (be sure both can output 2A safely). The heater will get hotter depending on the voltage you use. The heater warms up quickly with tangible heat within 60 seconds and top heat after 2 min. Use this component for heating devices, or for thermochromic effects.
