This looks very cool, Hilary. Are you coming out to the Toronto wearables meetup next week? If so, you should bring the project. It would be great to see it in action.
Thanks for the description on the displays. I'll review the info you pointed me to. Right now the quilt is progressing pretty slowly --- it's a cathedral window quilt. 16 folded base squares + 24 windows on ea. block; there are 16 blocks! I've only completed 4. :( Haven't decided the electronic part yet. I'm still researching, and playing w/ LilyPad on the side. May have more questions later...
(Continued from previous comment...) And how are you running all of the 10 x 10 matrix off batteries? Do you have a driver chip in there somewhere to control the current? Thanks for your help, or any pointers you can give.
I've been fascinated by your Pong Prom for quite some time. Do you have instructions for how to make it anywhere? (If it's not a trade secret.) I have been thinking about putting a pong game on the quilt that I'm making. I made a LilyPad-controlled 3 x 3 LED matrix (as a test) that's controlled by six traces (3 grounds and 3 powers)---turn on each LED's power and its ground to control it, just like the commercial LED displays. But I only see two traces going to your matrices. Are the rest of them hidden? (Continued in next comment...)
