Something that I’ve stumbled across on Pinterest in my avid browsing for cute aesthetic DIY things I will never make are cup holders that looks sort of like this.
(from Pinterest)
So I was planning to use soft circuits that we learned about last week to sew in a soft circuit along with a temperature measuring device from Adafruit (i still have to decide which one) and make a cup holder/sleeve that would send a text message to your phone if the cup is hot or cold. The sleeve would have two layers: a cloth inside that has the circuit sewed on to it and a slightly harder and prettier outer layer to cover the ugly circuit. If possible, this would have a bottom that will contain the microcontroller hidden in the bottom. To connect it, i might have a web page that would connect to the sleeve simultaneously that would do the same thing the text messages does. Hopefully, this cool cup holder would touch upon the useless DIY stuff of the internet world that people comment on how pretty it is, but will obviously never do it themselves.
