The Lilypad Arduino acts as the platform
for fashionable and futuristic e-textiles As soon as you see a concept pre-fixed with an ‘e’ for
‘electronic’ it immediately conjures up certain images, E-mail and
E-business. They’re major electronically-powered game changers.
And now we have E-textiles, driven by the Lilypad Arduino
microcontroller. “Wow, sounds technological and futuristic!”

The Lilypad Arduino acts as the platform
for fashionable and futuristic e-textiles we’ve got used to the first two ideas on that list. But even they
are constantly evolving and developing new capabilities. And
when they first came into the public consciousness they were
rightly seen as revolutionary. Now we tend to take them for
granted.

Now think of something cool. Then you might come up with
wearable electronics that are funky and stylish. But how can an
electronics enthusiast put some flashy gizmos on their clothes and
get them to work.

Powering the light-up bracelets, LED necklaces and even touch-
sensitive hoodies is the Lilypad Arduino.
Arduino is an open-source platform for electronics prototypers.
Basically, its hardware is supported by a community who just
can’t help themselves writing lots of quirky programmes to
experiment with. And they’re more than happy to share their
work.

The Lilypad Arduino acts as the platform
for fashionable and futuristic e-textiles The Lilypad is a piece of equipment that acts as the hub of an
e-textiles project. Its large connecting pads can be sewn into
clothing and the board will usually run between 2V and 5V.
They’re even washable!

The Lilypad Arduino acts as the platform
for fashionable and futuristic e-textiles Using the Lilypad, you can control your wearable electronics.
You might want alternating flashing LEDs on a blouse. Perhaps
you’d like them to light up as red as the fires of hell when it’s too
hot and then blue much like your fingers when the temperature
dramatically drops.

of inspiration available out there. And with the Lilypad Arduino
acting as the ‘brain’ of the operation, you can be confident that
everything is under control.
