I created somewhat of a touchpad sensor from conductive thread, fabric and the lilypad. Using a knitting machine, I knitted the conductive thread which I then stretched over felt fabric that I laser cut into the superman logo. This sensor, however, had problems. This may be due to imperfections in the fabrication such as discontinuity in the knitting, the uneven contact with the conductive fabric, non-smooth felt fabric surface and varying degrees of stretch throughout knit. However, through this sensor, I was able to build more code in arduino and processing for detecting the x and y coordinates.
