Felted BMO

It could be an easy one but I would recommend some basic knowledge.

Find a form to be your base ready for felting. It has 2 parts, one is the front part which cut through the foam. The second one is just for the back side of the BMO.

Then, try to test your Matrix 8 by 8 on your breadboard first.

5v/3v -> VCC (Number 8)

GND -> GND (Number 4)

PB0 -> DIN

PB1 -> CS

PB2 -> CLK

I use the conductive thread for this project. It quite weak so please be careful of the thread. I use a needle to put through the foam and tie with the legs around. you can make a bridge in case you need to jump to the other connection.

IMPORTANT

You also need to connect Power (VCC) and Ground (GND) to a coin cell battery in order to get it to work.

This is how to make a soft button

I followed this one and it's really easy to make one by yourself!

Have fun petting your BMO!
