When Will Wearables Go Mainstream? (video) #WearableWednesday

When Will Wearables Go Mainstream? via Fashioning Technology:

Wearable devices are on the rise, with some analysts predicting a market worth billions by 2015. Wearables and sensor technologies have the potential to transform our daily lives, changing how we interact with the world around us. From health and wellness to media, retail, education, and enterprise—companies from diverse industries may be headed for major disruption. Yet despite the buzz that Google Glass and the Nike FuelBand have created, these emerging products remain largely niche. So what will it take to make the average Joe want to wear a tiny computer?

Fjord held a discussion on how smart companies are taking a human-centered design approach to services that will make wearable computing go from sci-fi to streetwear.

Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We're bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!

DressCode by MIT HLT student Jennifer Jacobs:

By finding ways to connect programing to the production of personally relevant beautiful physical objects, it is possible to expand the number and types of people who are both interested in and empowered to participate in creative programming. DressCode is a programming language and enviroment for designing and building decorative and functional artifacts.

Sorry for answering so late!

My sensors are in a fixed position near the tracks but i have to sense the train from 15-20m away.

I am not interested in speed just the presence!

The pir can sense only at a limited 7-8m range, and it is too close.

I tried...

Bonjour a tous,

Sorry Micky I don't know what you mean, can you explain?

Also after a little further investigation I have discovered that unless the address of lcd is 0x27 nothing works.

Thanks

SUCCESSS!

I changed the breadboard and alligator clips and everything works now!

Thanks a lot for all the help!!

Arduino’s cameo appearence in The Following

Posted: 24 Apr 2013 01:32 AM PDT

The Following is an american TV Series which premiered last january and telling the story of

former FBI agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and his attempts to recapture serial killer Joe Carroll following the latter's escape from prison

On the 9th of April Season 1, chapter 12 aired and some of you noticed the unexpected!

An Arduino Uno spotted for the first time in a TV series at 17m 40s: Kevin Bacon jumps over an ArduinoUno-activated device … the red led blinking seems pretty dangerous!

But what kind of device is it exactly?

En fait, on lance le moteur en appuyant sur un bouton et on le coupe en rappuyant sur ce même bouton.

Puisque tu parles de sécurité, c'est beaucoup plus sûr d'avoir un bouton spécifique pour l'arrêt.

Arduino DUE: 32 bit device to control via SPI

Posted: 24 Apr 2013 02:22 AM PDT

I have a TI board with 32bit on the series data (DATA). Can I use an Arduino DUE to control it? I notice that in DUE it has a SPI_CONTINUE. Is it to add more bits for series data?

Yes, it was the

I don't understand why this line need to be in the code since (I think) fahrenheit is converted from celsius in the library.

I'll investigate it later when I'm more skilled in coding and ardu...

No, I'm afraid I don't believe you - insufficient time has elapsed.

If I have a variable 'x', that contains the value 5, then
bitRead (x, 0) returns 1
bitRead (x, 1) returns 0
bitRead (x, 2) returns 1
