StarStarStarStar

Fiber Optics

StarStarStarStar

Transmit light from one end to the other, used in e-textiles for creating luminous effects and dynamic visual garments.

StarStarStarStar

Conductive Fabric

StarStarStarStar

Fabric that conducts electricity, which can be used for touch sensors, heating elements or to shield against electromagnetic interference.

StarStarStarStar

Piezo Speaker

StarStarStarStar

A small and flexible speaker that can create sound when voltage is applied, integrated into clothing for sound-based alerts or communication.

StarStarStarStar

Photovoltaic Cells

StarStarStarStar

Convert light into electricity, can be used in wearable tech for power generation from sunlight, integrated into clothes or bags.

StarStarStarStar

Thermochromic Pigments

StarStarStarStar

Change color in response to temperature changes. Used in e-textiles to create garments that change color with body or environmental temperatures.

StarStarStarStar

EL Wire (Electroluminescent Wire)

StarStarStarStar

A wire that glows when an alternating current is applied, used for decorative and practical applications to provide illumination in textiles.

StarStarStarStar

Flex Sensor

StarStarStarStar

A sensor that changes resistance when bent, which can be integrated into e-textiles to detect movement or create interactive features.

StarStarStarStar

LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)

StarStarStarStar

A sensor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity, can be used in wearable projects for light-sensitive applications.

StarStarStarStar

Solar Fiber

StarStarStarStar

A type of fiber that can harness solar energy, potentially to be woven into e-textiles to create garments that can generate electricity.

StarStarStarStar

Attiny

StarStarStarStar

A small form-factor microcontroller that's easily integrated into fabric and used in minimal or space-constrained wearable projects.

StarStarStarStar

Pressure Sensor

StarStarStarStar

Detects the application of force or weight and changes its electrical resistance accordingly, useful in smart footwear or interactive surfaces.

StarStarStarStar

Vibration Motor

StarStarStarStar

A miniaturized motor causing fabric or garments to vibrate, often used in wearable devices that provide haptic feedback.

StarStarStarStar

Conductive Ribbon

StarStarStarStar

A flat, flexible strip that conducts electricity, used as an alternative to conductive thread for creating connections between components in e-textile projects.

StarStarStarStar

E-Textile Battery

StarStarStarStar

A battery that's thin, flexible, and often rechargeable, designed to power e-textile and wearable electronics.

StarStarStarStar

Capacitive Touch Sensor

StarStarStarStar

Detects touch or proximity by measuring changes in capacitance, used in garments for controlling electronics through touch.

StarStarStarStar

Conductive Thread

StarStarStarStar

Used to create flexible circuits and connections without traditional wiring. It is sewn into fabrics to integrate electronic components.

StarStarStarStar

LilyPad Arduino

StarStarStarStar

A microcontroller board designed for e-textiles and wearable projects. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread.

StarStarStarStar

SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) Wire

StarStarStarStar

Metal wire that contracts when heated, allowing for movement or shape change in e-textiles applications.

StarStarStarStar

RFID Tags

StarStarStarStar

Wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, embedded in textiles for tracking or data exchange purposes.

StarStarStarStar

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

StarStarStarStar

Small electronic light sources that can be sewn into textiles to create patterns or indicators that light up.
