Squeeze Sensor and Circuitry (2012)
The neoprene pressure sensor was not sensitive enough to squeezing the penguin body so i tried some different variations of the knit Nm10/3 resistive yarn to make a squeeze sensor.
In this version of the above, the non-conductive ball is knit on a circular knitting machine, rather than crochet.
In this version a non conductive circular knit tube is stuffed with a spool-knit tube of Nm10/3 conductive and regular non-conductive yarn.
In this version the Nm10/3 conductive yarn is knit on a circular knitting machine alongside a regular white yarn. the tube is then stuffed with non-conductive stuffing and pulled tight at either end.
Some Updates to Circuitry:
Replacing neoprene pressure sensor with squeeze sensor and beaded tilt sensor with commercial one:
Isolating squeeze sensor inside an extra ball:
Stitching through neoprene as an isolator for conductive thread:
