New Project — Remi Leibovic

The Hug Shirt

Designed and programmed with the phrase “You light me up” in mind, our group project for my interactive design class programmed a shirt to light up whenever someone would hug them. Programmed using the open source Arduino system.

The code that our team used and customized:

#define PIR_Sensor 4
#define String_light 5

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(PIR_Sensor, INPUT);
pinMode(String_light, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
analogWrite(String_light,0); 
bool status = digitalRead(PIR_Sensor);
    if(status == true)
      {
        while(digitalRead(PIR_Sensor))
        {       
          
          for(int i = 0; i<255; i++)
          {
            analogWrite(String_light, i);
            delay(5);
            Serial.println(i);
          }
          Serial.println("SWITCH");
          for(int i = 255; i>0; i--)
          {
            Serial.println(i);
            analogWrite(String_light, i);
            delay(5);
            }
          }
          
        }
      }
