What’s in the future?

You are now part of the future of wearables too! With your new making skills, you’ll join the wearable field and be able to contribute informed wearables, wearables with a purpose, to the wearable community. Hopefully, you’ll also explore alternative ways of making or using and mixing up components from other fields – for example, I’ve mashed together one of my QT Py circuit boards with these little ring terminals to create a version of the board (see Figure 14.37) that I can quickly get connected with croc clips:

Figure 14.37 – Adding your own inventive connections to the circuit boards you use

I started by soldering wires to the circuit board. Then, I stripped the wire ends and folded them over to create good connections. I pushed heat shrink onto the wire before pushing the wire end inside the ring terminal. There, I applied a small amount of flux to help the solder flow through, and I soldered...
