LilyPad LilyMini ProtoSnap

The LilyMini ProtoSnap from Sparkfun is an excellent educational tool for those interested in exploring interactive e-textile circuits. This product features a pre-programmed LilyMini microcontroller at its core, connected to a LilyPad Light Sensor, a LilyPad Button, and two pairs of LilyPad LEDs. All components are wired together, allowing you to test the circuit's functionality before sewing it into your project.

The LilyMini ProtoSnap comes with pre-loaded code that utilizes all the connected LilyPad components. This code includes three modes, selectable by pressing the LilyPad Button. The LilyMini's built-in RGB LED changes color to indicate the selected mode: white for all LEDs on, magenta for LEDs fading in a breathing pattern (with faster fading when the light sensor is covered), and cyan for LEDs off (with twinkling LEDs when the light sensor is covered).

The LilyMini board, which is the heart of the ProtoSnap, features an integrated battery holder for a CR2032 battery (included). The SAMD11 brain, which controls the ProtoSnap, is located on the opposite side of the LilyMini.

Every purchase of the LilyMini ProtoSnap contributes to the ongoing development and education in e-textiles by Dr. Leah Buechley. Please note that the LilyMini ProtoSnap does not include sewing needles or conductive thread, these items will need to be purchased separately. Also, this product is not reprogrammable and any attempt to do so is at your own risk.

This product includes a LilyMini (with battery), a LilyPad Light Sensor, a LilyPad Button, and four LilyPad LEDs. Documentation like the schematic, Eagle Files, a hookup guide, and GitHub resources are also provided.
