关于 Openwear 可穿戴原型开发工具套件

Openwear 是一套用于快速搭建可穿戴电子原型的工具套件。该套件包含一块改良的 Lilypad USB 开发板、十一个全新设计的模块以及快接连接线。每个模块均搭载一枚输入或输出芯片和六个直径 3 毫米的接脚。电路板背面固定有直径 10 毫米的磁铁,因此各部件通过磁性衬垫吸附于衣物之上,无需缝制。O 型连接件与螺栓用于连接接脚。原型可直接在织物上进行搭建、测试与重新组合。

独特属性: Openwear is a toolkit for building rapid wearable prototypes. It includes a modified Lilypad USB development board, 11 newly designed modules, and quick connecting cables. This kit facilitates rapid prototyping by enabling quick attachment and connection and allows users to directly build and test prototypes on the intended substrate like clothes.
尺寸与包装: Development board size is ϕ50*1mm, module size is ϕ25*1mm.
标签: Hardware, Electronic, Toolkit, Wearable, E-textile
生产技术: For the modules, we have designed 11 different modules with input or output chips contained on each module. Each module has six 3mm diameter pins. For quick fixing, we fixed a 10mm diameter magnet on the bottom of the development board and modules, which works with the magnetic fixing pads to attach to clothes. For quick connects, we used O-connectors and bolts, which work well with the 3mm pin sizes on the PCB.
设计挑战: The biggest challenge in the whole research was to achieve a rapid fixing and connection of the PCB. We tried a variety of methods including pins, buttons, velcro, and finally we chose to use magnets with O-connectors, which had not been used before.
研究: The success of the LilyPad has resulted in the creation of various development boards, such as the more compact TinyLily and the Circuit Playground with many sensors. However, these variations only modify the dimensions or integrate sensors, without modifying the Lilypad's method for constructing wearable circuits. This method presents a challenge in prototyping wearable circuits: sewing processes are time-consuming and set a high threshold for beginners. Furthermore, the troubleshooting process in wearable circuit prototyping often requires resetting and resewing. Once the development board is integrated into the fabric, the complexity of the debugging code also increases proportionally.
灵感: Common wearable circuits often need to be fixed using sewing, which is very cumbersome. To solve this problem, we took inspiration from magnetic buttons. We have embedded magnets in the back of the PCB to fix it using magnetic force.
项目周期: The project started in August 2023 in Ningbo and finished in January 2024
操作流程: 1. Building the First Circuit Prototype: Select modules based on design requirements and assemble them on a flat surface for initial circuit testing and debugging. 2. Continuous Testing and Adjustment of the Circuit: Reconfigure module positions on the body for testing purposes. 3. Building the Final Circuit: Sew components directly onto fabric using conductive yarn or utilize sewing magnet fixing pads as an alternative method. This ensures flexibility and ease of removal.
