Wearable Tech Projects: a smart backpack with wireless charging pocket #Wearables #PythonHardware #CircuitPython #Adafruit #Trinket @SophyWong @HackSpaceMag
From the new book Wearable Tech Projects by Sophy Wong – Smart backpack with wireless charging pocket. Never run out of power while out of the house again.
Many mobiles now come with wireless charging capabilities, allowing you to charge your phone by simply placing it over a base – no cords or plugs needed! In this project, we’ll add a wireless charging pocket to a backpack for holding a portable Qi charger. A portable charging bank is also a great source of power for wearable projects, so we’ll add a strip of NeoPixels to act as a visibility light and status bar. The light will glow when the charger is on, so you’ll know when power is flowing!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
