A triangular piece of solid circuit board is probably not a good thing (corners being a nasty accident just waiting to happen), but mounting a hexagonal board at the centre of a triangular piece of cloth might do the trick... Interesting thoughts on the thorax region. It seems like an awkward place to put actual circuitry (my preference being more under the arm, holster style), but it would make a convenient place to route cables to and mount connectors at. For washable computing, where the connectors are press-fasteners, I can't think of a better place to "press" them on. :-) Andrew. -- Andrew Plumb, VE3SLG mailto://andrew(at)plumb(dot)org http://www.plumb.org/tekmage/ spk2_0.0.2: http://www.plumb.org/tekmage/source/spk2/ -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
