Interactive textiles – LilyPad Arduino

Posted on Wednesday March 4th 2009 at 13:24

My colleague Rudi has blogged at Hunting a Snark on the LilyPad Arduino.

The Arduino modules are popular because they are very hands-on and it takes little effort to learn to use them. I see a lot of my non-tecchie students using them to use sensors etc.

The LilyPad Arduino is a variant of the Arduino modules, it consists of “sewable electronic components that let you build your own soft, interactive fashion”. It was created by Leah Buechley at MIT.

As one can connect sensors, LEDs, accelerometers to the LilyPad Arduino board and sew it into your bag, hoodie, T-shirt,… the possibilities for building interactive textiles seem unlimited.
