Final Presentation Setup:
^ Two patches, one has two tappable areas, the other has three.
^ Swapping out the patches to test.
^ Design samples on the various colors of canvas. The texture was a bit too rough for this application.
^ Process of making the patches
First Tests with taps + conductive ink:
Example of two user animations, created on presentation day:

Future Considerations:
I want to continue to work on this project. Considerations for the patch include fabric type and design of the tappable areas. For the Processing end of things, I’d like to explore what else is possible with the data being sent and well as build a state machine and initialization sequence so that the system knows how many tappable areas are present when plugged in so that two Processing sketches are not needed. On the Arduino side of things, I would like use timing to save the GIF animations rather than a button press.
