He lists all of the parts required for the project on his site and even provides the code to get you up and running with your very own iPhone controlled tank!
Bio Circuit: a wearable soundscape
Using a heart rate monitor, a hacked MP3 player and a LilyPad Arduino, Dana Ramler and Holly Schmidt developed a wearable bio circuit: With each beat of the heart, Bio Circuit connects the wearer with the inner workings of their body. In this sense the garment functions like other biofeedback devices that use sensors to […]
