The LilyPad Arduino 328 Main Board is an Arduino-programmed microcontroller designed to be easily integrated into e-textiles and wearable projects. It offers the same functionality you find in other Arduino boards, in a lightweight, round package designed to minimize snagging and profile, with wide tabs that can be sewn down and connected with conductive thread.
The LilyPad Arduino consists of an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader and a minimum number of external components to keep it as small (and as simple) as possible. This board will run from 2V to 5V and offers large pin-out holes that make it easy to sew and connect. Each of these pins, with the exception of (+) and (-), can control an attached input or output device (like a light, motor, or switch).
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. They’re even washable!
Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued development and education of e-textiles and also to Arduino LLC to help fund continued development of new tools and new IDE features.
Specification :
The Arduino LilyPad is a wearable electronics platform designed specifically for e-textiles and sewable projects. Some specifications of the Arduino LilyPad are:
- Microcontroller: ATmega328P
- Operating Voltage: 2.7V - 5.5V
- Input Voltage (recommended): 3V - 5V
- Digital I/O Pins: 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)
- Analog Input Pins: 6
- DC Current per I/O Pin: 40 mA
- Flash Memory: 32 KB (ATmega328P) of which 2 KB used by bootloader
- SRAM: 2 KB (ATmega328P)
- EEPROM: 1 KB (ATmega328P)
- Clock Speed: 8 MHz
- The LilyPad also has some specific features that make it ideal for wearable projects, including:
- Small size: The LilyPad is only 50mm in diameter, making it easy to incorporate into clothing and other wearable projects.
- Sewable: The LilyPad has large holes around the edge of the board, which can be used for sewing conductive thread through to create circuits and connections.
- Washable: The LilyPad can be washed (by hand) with a mild detergent, making it ideal for wearable projects that need to be cleaned.
- Low power: The LilyPad is designed to be energy-efficient, making it ideal for battery-powered wearable projects
