New level of Geek Chic: The Lilypad Arduino

E-mail this entry | Posted Apr 15th 2008 1:03PM by Annie Scott


Behold the prettiest, geekiest thing we've ever seen: The Lilypad Arduino.

This is a microcontroller board you can sew into/onto your clothing. That means you can use it to make your clothing do crazy electronic things! We would perhaps program it to make the phrase "Styledash is in contol of this T-Shirt" flash on and off on a t-shirt! Ha! Next stop: world domination.

We recently saw the use of the Lilypad Arduino in Leah Buechley's awesome turn signal biking jacket.

What else can the Lilypad Arduino do? Well, Ms. Buechley has several other projects up her capable, flashing sleeve. Click here for her gallery.

Get a Lilypad Arduino and some great tutorials here on Sparkfun!

What would you do with a Lilypad Arduino?
