LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit - Special
Edition
KIT-14628
DESCRIPTION INCLUDES DOCUMENTS EXAMPLES
The LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit lets you explore the wonderful world of
electronic sewing (e-sewing) and e-textiles through a series of introductory
projects using the LilyPad system. You’ll learn how to sew basic circuits to light
up LEDs, control them with buttons and switches and even experiment with a
pre-programmed LilyMini circuit that reacts to ambient light levels. In addition to
LilyPad LEDs and battery holders, the kit comes with two LilyPad ProtoSnap
boards that let you explore the circuit before you sew the pieces into a project.
The full-color LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit Guide (included) contains step-by-
step instructions for using LilyPad pieces to create four complete sewable circuit
projects with conductive thread. Easy-to-follow diagrams and troubleshooting
tips make this a great introductory resource for crafters and creatives.
LilyPad is a wearable technology developed by Dr. Leah Buechley and
cooperatively designed by Dr. Buechley and SparkFun. Each LilyPad
component was creatively constructed with large sew tabs to allow for stitching
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. Buechley for continued
development and education in e-textiles.
Note: Due to the requirements of shipping the batteries in this kit, orders may
take longer to process and therefore do not qualify for same-day shipping.
Additionally, these batteries cannot be shipped via Ground or Economy methods
to Alaska or Hawaii. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Important: The original cases used to house our LilyPad Sewable
Electronics Kit were unfortunately unable to find their way to SparkFun HQ.
Therefore, all units of the Special Edition kit will be housed in one of our
tried-and-true SIK Carrying Cases instead of the magnetic latching LilyPad
case. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope to
have our regular LilyPad cases back as soon as possible.

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
