the lilypad (omg)

The lilypad was developed by Leah Buckley and Sparkfun electronics. The aim of the project was to create a mass producible easy to program microprocessors to get a broad range of people experimenting with wearable technology.



This is the e-textile construction kit version 1.0, which introduced the idea of a construction kit for wearables. All the pieces were very square and bulky but show the basic idea.





Here are some soft version of the lilypad, which are more flexible than the mass producible version which i have, but couldn't be mass produced. The flexible version is made of conductive fabric, and the connections are made from conductive thread.
