ThreadBoard

ThreadBoard

ThreadBoard is a magnetic breadboard for embedded computing that allows for the rapid prototyping of e-textile circuits. The motivation behind the project was to develop a tool that will adapt to the unique set of constraints that creators face when fabricating an e-textile project. The 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.

ThreadBoard was developed in 色戒成人直播's  and at the ATLAS Institute. The project is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Award . The project page can be found .
