ProtoSnap - LilyPad Development Simple

The ProtoSnap LilyPad Simple Development Board is a beginner-friendly introduction to programmable e-textiles. All components come pre-wired on a single board, so you can explore and program before snapping them apart and sewing them into your project.

The kit combines a LilyPad Simple Board with LEDs, a buzzer, an FTDI programmer, conductive thread, needles, and a rechargeable LiPo battery. The battery charges directly through the board — no external charger needed. Two additional pads support alligator clip connections for sensors or can be used as touch-sensor inputs.
