The LilyPad Arduino

The LilyPad Arduino is a microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. The board is based on the ATmega168V (the low-power version of the ATmega168) or the ATmega328V . The LilyPad Arduino was designed and developed by Leah Buechley and SparkFun Electronics.

Specifications:
  • 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
