The LilyTiny is a compact LilyPad board with a built-in ATtiny85 microcontroller that drives four pre-programmed LED patterns. Simply sew on four LEDs and connect a battery — no programming or main board required.
Each of the four output pads produces a different lighting effect: heartbeat pulse (pad 1), on/off blink (pad 2), breathing fade (pad 0), and random fade (pad 3). Advanced users can reprogram the ATtiny85 via the ICSP pads on the back of the board.
Key Features

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
