EagLED - Little Bird E-Textile Snapable Board

Great little board , I am implementing this with non-tech textile design classes. They are pre-loaded with code so a wearable design will not need programming. Documenting the connections would be great, the light sensor is a simple interface for programming delays or changes to the lights. USB access lets you see responses while programming such as sensor values.

These are great for beginners and advanced users. We ran a very successful workshop using these locally made and affordable boards - thank you Little Bird for your great service.

Great for teaching e-textiles

With the push for cross-curricular STEM at our school, we've used the EagLED to modernise our home economics classes with e-textiles.

I like that EagLED comes assembled so I can make sure the code works before having to worry about the wiring. Little Bird's guides are good too, make sure you check them out!
