Description: T
he LilyPad SimpleSnap is a new, easy way to create e-textiles projects
with LilyPad that are modular and can be disassembled or broken down, it’s also a
great way to prototype! The SimpleSnap board is similar to the LilyPad Simple board,
and has the same functionality except for two major differences: A built-in
rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery and female snap connectors. By adding fabric
snaps to the board, LilyPad’s made it possible to connect this board to the
SimpleSnap Protoboard or simply an arrangement of sew-on fabric snaps so that the
board is removable from your project for washing or so that multiple projects can
share a board! It is important, though, that you do not wash the SimpleSnap because
the battery can be damaged.
The on-board Lithium Polymer battery can be charged simply by attaching an FTDI
breakout (the same board used for programming) and just like the Simple, the
SimpleSnap can be programmed in Arduino!
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and
cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively designed
to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn 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. Leah Buechley for continued
development and education of e-textiles and also to Arduino LLC to help fund
continued development of new tools and new IDE features.
Note: This item may take longer to process due to battery installed in the equipment
and therefore does not qualify for same-day shipping policy. Sorry for any
inconvenience this may cause.
