LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus

This is the LilyPad USB Plus, a sewable electronics microcontroller board controlled by an ATmega32U4 with the Arduino bootloader. It has a built in power supply JST (and recharge circuit) and an on/off switch with the only extra piece of hardware you need to program the LilyPad USB Plus being a micro-USB cable. We’ve also added an RGB LED in the dead-center of the board along with six white LEDs to act as a sort of bar graph. The LilyPad USB Plus was 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. It has fourteen sew tabs for connecting components with conductive thread. Four of these tabs are reserved for connecting power and ground of LilyPad sensors and accessory boards, and ten are input/output (I/O). For reference, each sew tab has a nearby label with its name and the pin number it is connected to on the ATmega32U4 chip at its center. 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 in the LilyPad line but will also work with most other wearable e-textile lines. They’re even washable! Please be aware that the Lilypad USB Plus is NOT supported on Windows 7/8 due to a lack of support drivers for those specific OS’s. Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued development and education in e-textiles.

The ProtoSnap series is a new way to prototype your project without a breadboard. Everything is wired together on a single board, which makes it easy to explore the possibilities of the components before snapping them apart and building them into your project. The ProtoSnap LilyTwinkle board is a very simple way to jump right into e-textiles. By including the LilyTwinkle, a coin cell battery holder (with built-in switch), and four white LEDs the ProtoSnap LilyTwinkle board easily allows you to add some sparkle to any project. To make your e-textile experience all the more enjoyable we have added a needle set and 30 feet of conductive thread! 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.

The LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus Kit is an all-in-one e-textile prototyping kit that has been specifically designed to make it as easy as possible to incorporate electronics into any of your garments or fabrics. The included LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus is a sewable electronics powerhouse that you can use to explore circuits and programming, then break apart to make an interactive fabric or wearable project. We have also included a USB cable, 110mAh LiPo battery, needle set and two conductive thread bobbins. With all of these parts combined and the featured Activity Guide (found in the Documents tab), you will be able to plan and create fantastic projects in no time! At the center of the ProtoSnap Plus is the LilyPad USB Plus microcontroller, pre-wired to a LilyPad board including a LilyPad Light Sensor, LilyPad Buzzer, LilyPad Button Board, four pairs of colored LilyPad LEDs and a LilyPad Slide Switch. Because these components are connected together on the ProtoSnap board, you can test out your project ideas before you sew. The ProtoSnap Plus also includes expansion ports that let you sew your wearables together or use alligator cables to easily connect external sensors and components. After testing out your coding ideas using the attached LilyPad pieces, you can break apart the prototyping board and sew them into your project! We have also written an online Activity Guide that teaches you how to program in Arduino with the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus. This guide includes 10 example activities that use the pre-wired LilyPad boards on the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus after you’ve completed the Hookup Guide linked below and in the Documents tab. Please be aware that the Lilypad ProtoSnap Plus Kit is NOT supported on Windows 7/8 due to a lack of support drivers for those specific OS’s. Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued development and education in e-textiles and also to Arduino LLC to help fund continued development of new tools and new IDE features.

Das LilyTwinkle ist eine winzig kleine LilyPad-Platine, die Ihr Projekt zum Funkeln bringt. Obwohl es so klein ist wie einige der LilyPad-Sensoren, hat dieses Board einen ATtiny-Mikrocontroller, so dass es eigentlich ziemlich intelligent ist! Nähen Sie einfach 4 LEDs an und schliessen Sie eine Batterie an, und schon blinken die LEDs (ähnlich wie Glühwürmchen). LilyTwinkle ist eine schnelle und einfache Möglichkeit, ein Projekt mit blinkenden Lichtern zu versehen, ohne Programmierung oder ein sperriges Main Board. Wenn Sie ein fortgeschrittener Benutzer sind und das LilyTwinkle neu programmieren möchten, sind die ICSP-Programmieranschlüsse auf der Rückseite herausgebrochen. LilyPad ist eine tragbare E-Textil-Technologie, die von Leah Buechley entwickelt und von Leah und SparkFun gemeinsam entworfen wurde. Jedes LilyPad wurde so konzipiert, dass es über große Anschlusspads verfügt, damit es in die Kleidung eingenäht werden kann. Es sind verschiedene Eingangs-, Ausgangs-, Stromversorgungs- und Sensorplatinen erhältlich. Hinweis: Ein Teil des Verkaufserlöses wird an Dr. Leah Buechley für die weitere Entwicklung und Ausbildung von E-Textilien gespendet.
