Description: The LilyPad SimpleSnap is a new, easy way to create e-textiles projects

with LilyPad that are modular and can be disassembled or broken down, it’s also a

great way to prototype! The SimpleSnap board is similar to the LilyPad Simple board,

and has the same functionality except for two major differences: A built-in

rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery and female snap connectors. By adding fabric

snaps to the board, LilyPad’s made it possible to connect this board to the

SimpleSnap Protoboard or simply an arrangement of sew-on fabric snaps so that the

board is removable from your project for washing or so that multiple projects can

share a board! It is important, though, that you do not wash the SimpleSnap because

the battery can be damaged.

The on-board Lithium Polymer battery can be charged simply by attaching an FTDI

breakout (the same board used for programming) and just like the Simple, the

SimpleSnap can be programmed in Arduino!

LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and

cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively designed

to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. Various input,

output, power, and sensor boards are available. They’re even washable!

Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued

development and education of e-textiles and also to Arduino LLC to help fund

continued development of new tools and new IDE features.

Note: This item may take longer to process due to battery installed in the equipment

and therefore does not qualify for same-day shipping policy. Sorry for any

inconvenience this may cause.
