Fabric-Based Interaction: Unveiling the Conductive Fabric Gesture-Control Sleeve

Abstract This design project addressed the challenges associated with over-reliance on smartphone screens by introducing a wearable fabric sleeve. The sleeve delivers incoming call notifications wirelessly through haptic feedback and enables touch-sensitive gesture recognition for interacting with smartphones or similar devices. The touch-sensitive grid was crafted using conductive thread and relied on high impedance capacitive […]

ATMega32 Microcontroller: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners

The ATMega32 is an widely used microcontroller from Atmel. It shares many similarities with the ATMega328P but has a more reduced memory capacity. However, the ATMega32 makes up for this with a greater number of input/output pins available. A key advantage of the ATMega32 is that each GPIO pin can exclusively support either digital input/output
