  -“But, wait, isn’t your major in microelectronics?”

  -Well, if I learn well in electronics, then why don’t I stay in this major instead of changing it to textile?

• Using Arduino

  -I know what you wanna ask. Well, firstly for wearable elctronics research, it is necessary to use a controller for the device demonstration. Secondly, for students that major in electronics, Arduino is like a toy of kids, and they always think that using MCUs like MSP430, STM32 or others is the coolest and most elegant choice. If they are not able to use these MCUs (like me), they are too ashamed to say that they are major in electronics.
