Assembly: Stitches to Switches

Next, we're going to sew the other side of each button to one of the numbered pins on the arduino. Like the ground connections, we start by laying out each trace with copper tape.

Planning out the button traces

I used pins 5-11. If you've chosen a different switch layout, you can use different pins. You'll just have to make a few small changes to the code.

Stitches to switches made

Make sure that your thread ends are cut nice and short next to the switch. It's important that the thread on one side of each switch not come in contact with the thread on the other side.

Cut each thread closely at the switch

Double check that each switch is connected to an Arduino pin on one side and to ground on the other.
