Technical Progress: Purchase Arduino Kit

To create a DIY pressure sensor like my finding in Joyslippers version 2, I need to gather material as stated in the tutorial. Among all materials stated. There's one material that I do not know. It's called "velostat". After research online for it a little more, I realised that it's a material which it's electrical resistance decreases when pressured. My main ingredient for the DIY pressure sensor.

To have a better understanding in how it works, I found this site very helpful. And it makes the DIY shoes achievable.

The next thing I need to do, is to purchase it and try it!
