Introduction
Dynamic Skin is group of devices contains fabric that attaches to human skin as a new type of clothing. They changes angles depend on the environment temperature and human body temperature. They cling to the skin to insulate heat for the human body and lift up to help cool down. We use a temperature sensor paired with the servo to control the movement of the fabric.
Hardware
Each processor option can pair with any one of the sensor options. Price listed here comes from tinycircuits.com on November 2, 2021.🧠Processor
- Option 1: TinyZero Processor Board - $ 19.95(no accelerometer) or $ 24.95 (with accelerometer)
- Option 2: TinyScreen+ (Processor, OLED & USB in one) - $ 39.95
- Option 3: TinyDuino Processor Board - $ 19.95(Lithium Battery Support, battery not contained) + USB TinyShield - $ 14.95 = $34.89
👁Sensor
- Option 1*: Pulse Oximeter Sensor Wireling - $ 19.95(measure heartbeat, saturated oxygen level, cardiogram data, and temperature) + Wireling Adapter TinyShield - $9.95 = $29.90
- Option 2: Combo Sensor TinyShield (13-DOF) 9-Axis, Temperature/Humidity, Pressure, Light - $ 39.95
- Option 3:Temperature/Humidity TinyShield - $ 14.95
EMAX ES9251 II Micro 4.0G Digital Servo - $ 9.95(JST-SH)
Servo adaptor:
Servo TinyShield - $ 14.95
*If used wireling (sensor option 1), need to purchase 5-pin wireling cables - $9.95(Variety Pack,12 cables) or you can buy one cable and refer to the website’s listed price.
What we already have but required in this project:
- Battery (Servos need an external power source)
1 5pin cable for the sensor
another battery for the servo TinyShield - maybe larger cap, can borrow others first to try.
For 3D priting, we need to buy tulle, regular tulle is fine.
