Adafruit LOOMIA Prototyping Packs & Parts - Quick-Start Pack

Circuit boards power the world but are often tailored for hard goods. LOOMIA introduces a groundbreaking soft circuit (e-textile) system to seamlessly power soft goods.

From automotive to apparel, our soft circuit systems step in where traditional PCBs fall short, enabling heating, lighting, and sensing for car seats, medical attire, outdoor gear, and beyond.

Developed over three years and utilizing Stanford's SNSF lab for analysis, our patented LEL technology offers a wide array of functionalities.

The Quick-Start Pack provides all essential components and accessories in one box for a hassle-free start. You will need a microcontroller like the Arduino-compatible Metro 328 or Metro Mini to control LOOMIA sensors and elements.

Quick-Start Packs include:

• Quickstart Booklet
• USB Breakout
• Alligator Clips
• Resistor set
• NPN Mosfet
• Sticker Sheets
