Task 23 - wikieducator.org(2) - LilyPad Arduino


The LilyPad Arduino (see below).

You can actually sew this onto a garment using the holes arranged round the edge.

You could put a nicely-designed shield on top of the LilyPad & make it do all kinds of cool things :-)

Do be careful, though, it's rather more fragile than other Arduinos, so if you accidentally reverse polarity, or connect more than 5.5v to the + terminal you're going to kill the Mega, & that means a new LilyPad!!

The little red board
is the

SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout

for programming the LilyPad..
