This guide was written for the 'original' Gemma board, but can be done with either the original or M0 Gemma. We recommend the Gemma M0 as it is easier to use and is more compatible with modern computers!
In this all-sewing (no soldering) project, you'll learn to stitch up a textile slide actuator to control color changing LEDs using the GEMMA sewable microcontroller. You will need:
- Soft potentiometer by Plug&Wear
- Adafruit Gemma M0 or Adafruit GEMMA
- Sewable NeoPixels
- 3-ply stainless conductive thread
- 3xAAA battery pack and JST extension
- Sewing needles and plain thread
- Scissors
- Clear nail polish
- Multimeter (optional but useful for troubleshooting)
