ThreadBoard is a magnetic breadboard for embedded computing that allows for the rapid prototyping of e-textile circuits. The motivation behind the project听was to develop a tool that will adapt to the unique set of constraints that听creators face when fabricating an e-textile project. The听tool takes into account the fabric-based nature of textiles with the electronic capabilities of ubiquitous computing, and with this device, makers can rapidly prototype circuit designs, debug mistakes and test components.听
ThreadBoard听was developed in 精品SM在线影片's听听and at the听ATLAS Institute. The听project听is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Award听. The project page can be found听.
