I haven't done much with ssh so once I'll be sure to reach out once I get to playing more with it. @mshaughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899774067637064137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429671402186438091.post-29751798443642058232019-01-04T20:13:40.211-08:002019-01-04T20:13:40.211-08:00Great project and very resourceful!

Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />VNC can be spotty and quirky. If you aren't familiar with using ssh, let me know and I'll be glad to help get you started. You can do a lot with it, including managing your vnc connection, and I do a huge amount of my work using ssh, sftp and scp.David Peterson Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026755004222004892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429671402186438091.post-9252239286351166992017-08-24T06:43:08.607-07:002017-08-24T06:43:08.607-07:00Hi there!

The fabric was the costliest part of project-- I tried to only purchase fabric off the clearance rack at the yardage store, but it was definitely tricky to find fabric at a good price. I've been told that fabric.com is a good resource with good prices if you're planning ahead. The Zero W is only $10 and since reusable for a plethora of projects, a great price I think. And I lucked out when it came to the embroidery-- grandma has a huge collection, so no cost there for me :)<br /><br />As far as time, it only took me about 3 hours to cut fabric and sew together the bag. Embroidering time with our machine was a few hours, but that includes trying out various iterations of the design. And coding, once I figured out what commands to use, only took about an hour, including wiring up the bag. <br /><br />If you're interested in wearables, Packt recently published a book on wearable with Raspberry Pi by Jon Witts. You might want to check it out!<br /><br />I hope you share whatever cool wearables you create with the 9th graders!@mshaughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899774067637064137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429671402186438091.post-37268107070509497022017-08-11T16:05:37.083-07:002017-08-11T16:05:37.083-07:00Thank you for sharing a great project, Amanda. I ...Thank you for sharing a great project, Amanda. I have been looking for wearable art projects to teach and engage at-risk students (grade 9). How expensive was the entire project, including all materials and approximately how much time did it take you to complete, including figuring out the embroidery feature, programming, trouble-shooting, and assembly? If you are able to share that information with me, it would be helpful. Also, thanks for a great blog example. I opened an account, but have not attempted my first blog yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
