are you ready for the awesome?you all know my queen's jacket

modelled here by the lovely drunken tom


well many of you have known about my alteration plans... all i have ot say is i'm done
as you know i'm an electrical engineer student and decided to make it a true ECE jacket

so i cut open the collar



and tied all the ground pins together.

then out of the 30 of them, i put them together in threes (its split into three sets of ten, so the ones were together, the 2's, 3's etc)




what i did when i was done was stitch back the collar up with Resistors, (makes for nice trim)
here's what the collar looks like




i built a simple counter circuit using a 555 timer and a 4017 decade counter




that little board velcros to the inside of the jacket

and now...

here's a video of it in action

if the video doesn't work, check back a bit later
stupid youtube being too slow

The fact that you can wire a jacket and sew makes me strangely attracted to you.

Two things I like about this journal:

1.) The finished product, obviously.

2.) The wooshing sound all that technical jargon made as it went over my head.

OooOOoooOO... purdy liiiights

All you need now is a microphone on the inside of the collar that connects directly to the predident's red phone.
You could definately have some fun then! :D
