This tutorial explains how the Electro-Fashion Cat design is screen printed on to a piece of felt.

This week brings you the Arduino MicroView with associated Accessories: An extremely small Arduino compatible module that has an 64 x 48 pixel OLED display that is ideal for rapid prototyping!

Our friend Julie Boyd, an experienced Design & Technology Consultant, recently exhibited at the Fashion, Embroidery & Stitch Show at the NEC in Birmingham. This was her 3rd Year at the show and was her busiest year to date! Have a read about what she got up to here.

In partnership with Nottingham Trent University’s Design and Technology faculty, Kitronik assisted with a brief for first year undergraduate students, designing and making an item as part of their studying of E-textiles and inspired by our Electro-Fashion ® range.
We then went along to their presentation morning to see them present their ideas to their course tutor, and get a good look at them ourselves.

Sarah Davies Senior Lecturer from the Nottingham Trent University (NTU) School of Education came to us with a great opportunity for teachers!

At Kitronik we’re very excited about wearable technology and e-textiles, we stock lots of great e-textiles kits including Kitronik’s Lilypad wearable Arduino.

As it’s the new series of The Apprentice we decided to let Geoff finish work before his usual 10pm. We hadn’t anticipated though that he’d actually like the principal behind Team Tenacity’s Little Smart Jacket (although he preferred the look of the boys’ sweater), and so this morning I arrived in to find him busy working away on his own Little Smart Sweater.

These new E-Textiles kits from Kitronik have been specially designed so that electronics can easily be used in textile applications – without soldering!
