Electronic Textile of Low Cost based on Arduino to Introduce Electric Circuits and Programming

Abstract

A project for early age students is proposed in order to motivate the study of physics, mainly for the electricity area, electrical circuits and microcontroller programming through the integration of low-cost elements to animate visually textiles and common daily items. It includes the use of the concepts related to the Ohm law and the link that exists between the representation of a binary number in the Arduino language with the physical voltage output of the microcontroller to turn on or off each one of the led as result of a programming sequence.
