After researching potential ways I could create an output from an sensory input, I decided to try to use an Arduino Magpie Microprocessor bought from Little Bird Electronics for the coding for my wearable.
As I have never done any electronics before, I started with some basic projects from the Freetronics Project Guide, and then followed some tutorials on how to program an arduino.
How to use and initial coding:
The arduino connected to my laptop:
The mad workstation:
Blink
Video of first time using the Arduino and code: Example Blink where the LED blinks according to the code:
Circuit with breadboard, 180 ohm resistor, LED and Magpie Arduino
Project 2 - 5 LEDs from the Freetronics Project Guide
Circuit with breadboard, 5 180 ohm resistors, 5 LEDs and Magpie Arduino
Video of the test:
Sharp IR Sensor + Arduino
The Magpie Arduino with Sharp IR sensor (range 10cm-80cm)
Video of the above:
Video of the serial monitor output:
Sharp IR Sensor + Arduino + LED
I then connected the above to the breadboard with the LED as the output:
