Product information "LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit"

The LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit lets you explore the wonderful world of electronic sewing (e-sewing) and e-textiles through a series of introductory projects using the LilyPad system. You’ll learn how to sew basic circuits to light up LEDs, control them with buttons and switches and even experiment with a pre-programmed LilyMini circuit that reacts to ambient light levels. In addition to LilyPad LEDs and battery holders, the kit comes with two LilyPad ProtoSnap boards that let you explore the circuit before you sew the pieces into a project.

The full-color LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit Guide (included) contains step-by-step instructions for using LilyPad pieces to create four complete sewable circuit projects with conductive thread. Easy-to-follow diagrams and troubleshooting tips make this a great introductory resource for crafters and creatives.

LilyPad is a wearable technology developed by Dr. Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Dr. Buechley and SparkFun. Each LilyPad component was creatively constructed with large sew tabs to allow for stitching 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. Buechley for continued development and education in e-textiles.

Lilypad Conductive Thread Bobbin

This is 12 meters of smooth conductive thread spun from stainless steel fiber and wound on a plastic bobbin. Use it to sew up all of your e-textile projects. This small bobbin is a great way to get into wearable electronics without the upfront cost of buying an entire spool of thread. Close to 40 feet of thread is enough to get a simple design stitched onto your shirt, backpack or hat. What sets this thread apart from the other conductive thread that we carry is the fact that it’s actually spun from 12UM stainless steel fiber making it incredibly smooth and without the loose hairs seen on other bobbins. This means that while it may not be easy to solder to, because it’s stainless, it also won’t burn up when you touch it with a soldering iron. Suitable for hand or machine sewing (as a bobbin thread). We’ve had no trouble using it for close, tight connections, but if you’re worried, waxing the thread should keep it manageable!

Needle Set

This set of sewing needles is a must-have when stitching together your next e-textile project. Each envelope contains three 48mm, 1.23mm thick needles and two smaller 39mm, 0.67mm thick needles. The eye of each size needle is large enough to easily thread with our conductive thread.

LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus

The LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus is a sewable electronics prototyping board that you can use to explore circuits and programming, then break apart to make an interactive fabric or wearable project. Programming the ProtoSnap Plus is easy with the free Arduino software you’ll need to program the ATmega32U4 on LilyPad USB Plus at the heart of the board. Once you’ve installed the software, you’ll be able to write and upload your own programs to the board, making it do almost anything you want. 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! Please be aware that the Lilypad ProtoSnap 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.

Electro-Fashion, Switched Coin Cell Holder

This specially designed e-textiles coin cell holder from Kitronik has large connection points for the conductive thread. These are clearly marked to show the battery polarity. The unit also has a small power switch so that you can turn the power on and off. It uses a very thin PCB material to keep its size to a minimum.This allows it to be easily incorporated into your own e-textiles designs. Caution: This coin cell holder contains Nickel and should not be used in designs where it will be in prolonged contact with the skin. The board accepts CR2032 batteries. Dimensions: L44 x W20 x H4.5mm

nOOds - Flexible LED Filament - 3V 300mm Weiss

Our favourite food when chopping code or electronics is a hot bowl of noodles - and in New York they are often called "noods"! What we have here are flexible LED noodles in different lengths and colours. All of them are not good for eating, but they are good for cool lighting effects. These are often seen in "Edison-like" LED lights, shaped into hearts or stars or simply wrapped around to create a fun or warm lighting effect. They consist of dozens of micro-LED diodes connected together on an ultra-flexible metal back and then coated with coloured silicone for protection. Because the LEDs are connected in parallel, you only need 3 V to make them light up - we recommend current limiting with a resistor to let a maximum of 50 mA through. One piece per pack. Add some miniature noodle-y neon bling to your miniature sets, dioramas, dollhouses, mini verses what have you! These look and feel like we've always wanted an EL cord to look and feel, and since it's just a "big long LED", you can easily dim it via PWM. Just switch on with 3 V by connecting both ends - the anode should be the metal end with a small hole in it. If it doesn't light up immediately, try it the other way round, no problem. This noodle is 300 mm long.
