LED Circuit within Fabric

Creating a basic LED circuit within fabric was relatively simple. In terms of circuitry, the hardest part was maintaining a solid connection with the LED and the breadboard because of the nature of sewing the wire down. Sewing itself was little issue after I reacquainted myself with sewing, since it has been too long since I've sewed anything. Sewing the LED and wire connections into place such that they provided a firm connection was a bit of a struggle though. This wasn't because of the nature of the sewing, but rather my lack of skill and time with sewing. With time, my sewing will improve so most (hopefully all) connections with wire and components on fabric will be solid. Since the circuit is so simple, a picture of the setup will not be posted, especially since it's just an LED wired to be powered on.

Project Blink: Strong Breathe Contest

 Strong Breathe Contest is a contest for how many LEDs you can light up in a single breathe. Inspired from the typical 'strong man' games supposedly found at carnivals (I've never seen one) the user is challenged to light each and every LED through the sheer power of their lungs.

The Strong Breathe Contest uses an Arduino, touch sensor, potentiometer, and six LEDs. The setup can be seen below.

Users breathe on the touch sensor to light the LEDs in ascending order from left to right. Initially, it is very easy to light each LED, so to add additional challenge a difficulty meter was added. The difficulty is represented with the potentiometer. Far left is the easiest setting, while far right is the hardest difficulty. Once the difficulty has been set, the user can test their lung capacity by trying to light all the LEDs in a single breathe!
