  1. Raymond Welch Forrest Holub Sean Brooks Advisor: Dr. Gayatri Mehta Embedded Wireless Textile Display

  2. The Team • Raymond Welch • Display code and testing, poster, progress presentation, final report and presentation • Forrest Holub • Proposal, research, parts ordering, progress report, wireless implementation, construction • Sean Brooks • Proposal, research, progress report, shopping runs, construction

  3. Abstract • This project is a prototype flexible display attached to a jacket that receives text wirelessly from a nearby computer and outputs it to an LED display matrix by multiplexing the text data through a series of 8-bit shift registers.

  4. Overall Design

  5. Hardware Design Display Component 8-bit Shift Registers LED Matrix units

  6. Hardware Design Wireless Component Control Component To Display

  7. Software Design • Arduino Code • 3 functions • Get Input from Xbee • Trim to display width • Convert input to display pixels • Look up characters in table • Refresh display • Controls clock signals and row updates • Synchronized

  8. Timing Diagram

  9. Time Frame • Construction took longer and got started later than anticipated • Ended up ordering parts later because of broken components

  10. Construction • Attached LED units to jacket sleeve • Soldered shift registers to PCB • Sewed bus lines from display to control with conductive thread • Attached Lilypad and Xbee with thread • Connected PCB and LED units • Attached batteries

  11. Testing • Single LED unit and single shift register • Added more units and registers • Changed from hardcoded input to dynamic strings • Added wireless capability • Polished timing issues and finalized wiring • Tested connectivity and voltage on jacket

  12. Testing

  13. Results • Working display • Working wireless • Ran out of time embedding on jacket

  14. Difficulties • No eInkor other integrated flexible display screen available • Individual LEDs too much labor • 5x7 matrix units more manageable • Timing issues • Too much wiring • Thread doesn’t connect to pins easily • Take too much time to complete

  15. The Future • This project • Detatchable components for washability • More efficient screen • Better wireless • Applications • Doctors • Soldiers • Astronauts

  16. Engineering Standards • We used the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which specifies the media access control for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs) using the XBee Series 1 transceiver.

  17. Ethical Issues • User safety • Sharp edges • Exposed wires/thread • Possible heat dissipation • Waterproofing
