Overview of this book

With Wearable-Tech Projects with the Raspberry Pi Zero, you will begin with learning how to install the required software for your upcoming projects. You will also learn how to control electronic devices with the GPIOZero Python library. Next, you will be creating some stylish wearable-tech projects such as a motion-reactive LED cap and a Tweet-activated LED T-shirt. Toward the end of the book, you will be creating some useful health and fitness wearable-tech projects; these will help you monitor your heart rate, track your movements with GPS, and count your footsteps with your own pedometer. By the end of the book, you will have created a range of wearable-tech projects and learned enough about your Raspberry Pi Zero that you should be able to adapt these projects further or come up with your own creations!

Adding our LEDs to our fabric

In the same way that we stitched the ground or negative connections of our LEDs together in Chapter 3, Sewable LEDs in Clothing, we are going to use a common ground connection for all of the negative connections of each color LED. Starting with the red LED furthest from the poppers, place your LED on it's marker on the piece of the fabric and stitch it to the fabric using a long length of conductive thread stitching through the negative connection of the LED. Continue with the same piece of conductive thread, and stitch a running stitch along the marker line on your fabric, and then use this to attach the negative connection of the next LED. Continue doing so for all the red LEDs, and finally, run your conductive thread to a female half of a popper, and stitch this to its marker on the fabric. Finish attaching the popper to the fabric by stitching...
