Our electronic switch
reimagines a belt buckle as an interactive input device, blending fashion with
circuitry. The buckle itself functions as a switch, completing an electrical
circuit when fastened. This action powers an LED light on a breadboard, with an
Arduino Circuit Playground—plugged into a laptop—serving as the power source.
The materiality of the
project is central to its function. The metal belt buckle acts as a conductive
switch, utilizing its mechanical movement to open or close the circuit. This
transforms a routine action—buckling a belt—into an intentional electrical interaction.
By incorporating wearable elements into circuit design, our switch challenges
conventional interfaces and highlights how everyday materials can be repurposed
for electronic interactivity.
