Conductive thread, and a sewn Sotto

A project log for Sotto: A Silent One-Handed Modular Keyset

The essential input you never knew you needed. Sotto is a portable, wearable, more subtle way for you to text and type on the go.

Hello, fantastical experiments with conductive thread and softer components.

Finished unpacking a whole room, decided to reward self by working on a sewn version of Sotto. The output is a lot junkier than I'm used to seeing with wires, and without the sewable microcontrollers, it seems pretty susceptible to shorts in a way that makes me a tad nervous. I also used larger swaths of conductive fabric, which worked a lot better than the smaller bit I used earlier. So I think I'll cut the fingers off of this one and try it with some wires connecting to a wristband holding the microcontroller. You know, after more boxes happen.
