DETAILS:

The LilyPad Arduino is an awesome looking Arduino microcontroller board that has a set of sewable electronic components which you can use to create your own soft, interactive fashion. The Lilypad Arduino can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. Thus, it would be a very useful kit to us and we should buy it for our class.

Basic facts:

Microcontroller	ATmega168V or ATmega328V
Operating Voltage	2.7-5.5 V
Input Voltage	2.7-5.5 V
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	16 KB (of which 2 KB used by bootloader)
SRAM	1 KB
EEPROM	512 bytes
Clock Speed	8 MHz

The LilyPad Arduino can be programmed with the Arduino software (the link is below). *Note*, you should only be programming this with software versions 0010 or higher. However, you can program it with earlier versions but it won’t be as efficient and as fast as you want it to be.
