Description: The LilyPad Simple just got a whole lot… simpler. We’ve updated the

Simple board to create the LilyPad USB by replacing the classic ATMega328 with the

new ATMega32U4. Not only does that mean that it’s running a variation of the latest

and greatest bootloader, but it also means no more FTDI Basic! The only extra piece

of hardware you need to program the LilyPad USB is a micro-USB cable, since the

new IC has built-in USB support. The LilyPad USB is also officially supported in the

Arduino IDE as of version 1.0.2!

Just like the LilyPad Simple, this board features a JST socket so you can directly

connect a Li-Po battery for power and an on-board power switch so you can turn it off

when you’re not feeling particularly blinky. These boards were designed to streamline

your next sewable project by keeping things simple and giving you more room to work

while eliminating the need to sew a power supply. The LiPo battery is even

rechargeable through the board, no more special external LiPo chargers required!

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.

Dimensions:

• 50mm outer diameter
