# EMBROIDERED ELECTRONIC RESISTOR GENERATION (v3.0)
2021-05-02 17:16:59 +00:00
## Background / info
This is part of a research project to develop flexible wearable electronics.
This python tool generates .exp files which are used by Melco, Bravo, and Bernina machines.
2021-06-18 15:19:51 +00:00
The embroidery package pyembroidery is used to convert to the file type of your choice (dst,pec,pes,exp,vp3,jef,u01,svg,csv,xxx,png,txt,gcode)
Give the program input parameters such as target resistance and unit resistance of the conductive thread.
2021-05-02 17:16:59 +00:00
All parameters are adjustable, such as gap length between lines, stitch length, terminal pad length, etc.

The program will create a resistor to your specifications, save the .exp file, convert the file to your specified file type, and show the generated resistor in a plot.
