The LilyPad Arduino is designed for e-textiles and wearable projects. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread.
Overview
The LilyPad Arduino Main Board is based on the ATmega168V (the low-power version of theATmega168) or the ATmega328V. The LilyPad Arduino was designed and developed by Leah Buechley and SparkFun Electronics.
Getting Started
In the Getting Started section, you can find all the information you need to configure your board, use the Arduino Software (IDE), and start to tinker with coding and electronics. SparkFun Electronics has a range of accessories for use with the LilyPad Arduino.

Warning: Don’t power the LilyPad Arduino with more than 5.5 volts, or plug the power in backwards, you’ll kill it.
Power
The LilyPad Arduino can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply.
If an external power supply is used, it should provide between 2.7 and 5.5 volts. This can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. Again, don’t power the LilyPad Arduino with more than 5.5 volts, or plug the power in backwards: you’ll kill it.
