# Week 2: Electronics: Connecting Materials

## The first explanation

Personally I was not used to all these "proffesional phrases", so that was a little getting used to in the beginning

Finally got the circuit going! This took a really long time! But it works... it took me quite some time to understand where I made a mistake, but now I've learned that it is possible to always find the mistake by following the circuit from + to -.

## DIY Speaker

This piece of footwear has been the first inspiration of the upcoming DIY speaker.

After the workshop at the Textile Museum, it stood out to me how often I've actually seen this "phenomenom" already. I am super into the Japanese side of things, so I took the workshop with me and wanted to use it in the minor. Loes asked us to make a speaker which could be used differently e.g. as a wearable. This is where the bell rang and we tried to make this reallity.

Sadly enough it has not been possible since we were not able to quite the resistance at the right number.

First time having used an Ohm meter as far as I can reminder. Quite a lot of ways to use it, but over time I was able to use it more and more easily.

Sadly enough Anoush and I were not able to combine a working speaker with our innitial plans. Our plan was to realize this in the 9th week.

The first project in which we had to use the solder machine. I have used a solder machine during "high school". In my mind it was easier to use. Anoush was the expert of the two of us.
