Create quirky, interactive and fashion-conscious garments and projects that involve a mix of creative design with assembly techniques and components such as simple circuits using conductive thread, solder joints for snaps, and switches for buttons.
Detailed instructions to create over 20 different fashionable and functional projects (marked beginner to advanced) that incorporate light, sound and movement into DIY designs.
Former Wired editor Anderson discusses the idea of "desktop factories" being the new model of industrial production in a world where makers will use design programs, 3D printers, open-source software and other technological breakthroughs to turn hobbies into a driver of the global economy.
Surveillance robots, balloon-popping lasers, and motorized writing LEDs are just three of the fifteen projects covered in this copiously illustrated book. Safety measures and the scientific principles behind the projects are covered as well.
Take old junk electronics and save the usable parts safely with this book. 50 "deconstruction" projects with photos are covered, with suggestions for repurposing your salvaged treasure.
