Lilypad USB (Arduino-Compatible E-textile Controller)
Light up your clothing by sewing the Lilypad into your next outfit! Just plug in a MicroUSB cable and use the Arduino IDE to program.
No more breadboards and wires in your favorite fabric projects! With the Arduino-Compatible Lilypad USB, just sew onto the conductive pads of the board with conductive thread to create a circuit! This is the greatest way to work with smart e-textiles!
The Lilypad USB is way easier to use than the older generation Arduino Lilypads because they have a regular MicroUSB port right on them! Just plug it straight into your computer with any MicroUSB cable! Arduino-Compatible so you can use this Lilypad USB with the same code of any other Lilypad Arduino!
