Dynamic Knit hardware

Embedded system design – Internship at by-wire.net

Marina Toeters of by-wire.net and Jesse Asjes of JSSSJS started a new collaboration project called 4th dimension: dynamic knit. Together a knitwear prototype was made with a volume that shape shifts and is locally produced. Rowan Verbraak designed and realized the integration of hardware, consisting of Arduino microcontrollers and servo motors.
