This space-themed painting uses Bare Conductive's Touch Board, LilyPad Pixel Boards (addressable LEDs), and conductive paints and thread to create an interactive work of art.
Each of the black figures are created with Electric Paint and act as a capacitive touch surface connective through conductive thread to a Bare Conductive Touch Board loaded with different sounds. Custom code added to the out-of-the-box functionality of the Touch Board adds additional lighting effects through embedded LEDs when the painting is touched.
Created as a demonstration of Bare Conductive products for SparkFun's presence at CBS4's Girls and Science event.
This project uses a LilyPad Arduino Simple Board connected to a 1.0M Ohm resistor and conductive yarn to create the web. The code is a modified version of Paul Badger’s capacitive touch sensing library demo sketch. When you touch the web, the nearby spider’s LED eyes light up.

A custom three panel display board for paper circuit projects using the Circuit Scribe modules and conductive pen connections. A way to showcase and inspire interactive artwork made using the Circuit Scribe system in a gallery or classroom setting.
Circuit Scribe Power modules are embedding in hinged acrylic panels, allowing the user to replace artwork quickly and easily. All three modules are connected to a power adapter that plugs into the wall, eliminating the need to change out batteries.
Nine thematic sample projects combining Circuit Scribe modules and paper crafts were created to demonstrate using this system for creative expression. Templates are available for download.
Created for use in SparkFun's Circuit Scribe: Joining Art and Science with Conductive Gel Pens presentation at NSTA 2015.
Circuit templates designed by Angela Sheehan and papercraft covers crafted in collaboration with Maya Kleinbort.

'Night Light' circuit, reed switch with magnetic fly circuit, color mixer circuit with RGB and switches
The frog in this drawing lights up when a fly with a hidden magnet covers a reed sensor soldered to a 2-Pin Adapter Circuit Scribe Module. An example of adding custom electronics to the Circuit Scribe system.
A colorful chameleon changes hue controlled by three switch modules. An experiment in color mixing with an RGB LED.
This drawing uses a Circuit Scribe RGB module underneath the spaceship with two channels connected to outputs on the Circuit Scribe Blinker module - creating a flashing, color changing light that looks like fire. Blast off!
The alien't heart lights up when you complete the circuit. Uses the NPN transistor module. Based on the touch sensor example from the Circuit Scribe workbook.
Plush pineapple puppet augmented with conductive thread and LilyPad LEDs attached to a MaKey MaKey board with custom code. Connect the base conductive patch to embroidered conductive thread on different parts of the pineapple with your hands activates animations in a digital version of the puppet in Processing.

Prototype of the puppet wired into a laptop. It was later upgraded to use bluetooth to connect.
Felt mushroom patch with LilyPad LEDs connected to a LilyTiny board. The LEDs glow through fiberfill stuffing to create a nice night-light effect.

This project demonstrates use of many of the boards included in the LilyPad Development Board. Press the button to play a tune on the buzzer or watch a light pattern programmed to look like juggling.
Fleece tea or coffee sleeve using an Aniomagic Temperature Sensor and bipolar LEDs. When the temperature of the cup is high, the penguin's eyes will light up red. When the temperature is cool enough to drink, the LEDs will light up green.
