(Working) Project Title: Unconventional Honesty
Team Members: Andres Tapia, Fang Qin, Jade Palandech
Project Description: A jacket that will light up in specific patterns in reaction to changes in heart rate. The heart rate will be monitored by a pulse sensor in the cuff of the jacket.
Drawings:
Resting heart rate:
Slow heart rate:
Fast heart rate:
Updated (3/2/17) Sketches: 
Inspiration: We were inspired by the idea of creating a jacket that expresses the wearer’s heart rate as a form of unconventional honesty. We haven’t really seen any other jacket like this on the market.
Materials and Costs:
Heart rate monitor: $12
Jacket fabric and other materials : ~$60
5 Neopixel strip 60LED -1m: 3 x $25
Conductive thread 125yds: $6
5 Volts batteries: $14
3 Lilypads: 3x $14
Timeline:
March 16: Finalize design and map out wiring
April 4: Jacket is sewn and complete, begin wiring and test runs.
April 20: Jacket is fully functional!
Fallbacks:
Change pattern to be simpler and use less lights
Go down to one heart rate/design
Use LEDs instead of Neopixels
Possibly a different sensor
