It is easy to do and works very well as a stretch sensor.
To do this knitted-stretch-sensor you will need:
1- thread
2- resistive yarn
If you don’t have a french knitter, you will need:
1- sticks (I used my pencils)
2- tape
3- tube (I used a can)
- To do your knitter you can follow this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkbXitpugjQ
Here you see my process
Hey! Don’t forget to knit the thread and the resistive yarn together.
To get a feeling of my group future intention that is to make noise out of wearable, based on the Arduino’s exemples code “MultipleTone” I connected my sensor in this circuit.
Here you have the output.
