Textilo is a simple board with an oscillator circuit made with a couple of components and a 555 timer. The purpose of this board is to allow people to have a small device ready to use and to make some experiment combining sensors made with different « e-craft » technic.

Since 2015, this tool has gone through different iterations. The first one have been made with JB labrune and was oriented textile. The board was build with neoprene for the substrate and copper polyester for the circuit.
