Why are switches great? Cheap: both in material and in
processing No calibration

5V GND digital pin resistor switch
5V GND digital pin resistor switch
int switchPin = 7; ! void setup() { pinMode( switchPin,
INPUT_PULLUP); Serial.begin( 9600 ); } ! void loop() { int switchValue; switchValue = digitalRead( switchPin ); ! Serial.println( switchValue ); delay( 300 ); // slow down to make it easier to read }
Challenge Design and prototype a wearable soft circuit sensor using
only switches as the input.
