Hi Katie,

sorry you were so busy, I know how hard it is to find the time to work on a project and also write blogposts about what you're doing.

I'm looking forward to seeing your jacket finished and in action! Good luck and have fun!

Hi Katie,

Good job.

Time estimation and management is the hardest part of the engineering process to learn.

I think you did very good based upon the the size of the project and the time you had.

You did get the first rule correct, always have something to demonstrate. It helps convince customers that you full project is just a little time away and they get a good idea of what things will look like when you finish.

Thanks for sharing,

DAB

Katie, I love the way the stitching appears on the side of your jacket -- it's like a giant beautiful swirl. So often we try to hide the circuit, but in this case, it really looks lovely exposed. Sounds like you solved your biggest crisis with your thread/wire invention -- good for you. We could probably compare notes on debouncing switches someday. In fact, you will see a longer blog post from me on my issues. It was all I could do to just finish tonight. Anyway, you have a lot of sensors going on, but your knowlege of electronics is excellent, so I have no doubt you will figure it out, or modify things so they give you good result. Wishing you fun times skating....
