About this project

Squishy is a DIY felted pressure sensor embedded with conductive fibres. When squished its resistivity decreases and it becomes more conductive! But its digital counterpart is affected with every squish!

Squishy was connected through the serial port to an electron app that read the Squish state based on the serial reading and either showed a live breathing blob or a splat!!

Keep squishing him, and he gets visibly annoyed by you, slowly getting angrier as you go...

Squishy Annoyed

Squish too many times and squishy can't bring himself back to his original state. But don't worry he has friends that come to his rescue! Helping come back to his original state.
