The LilyPad 328 ATmega328P Main Board (16M) is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller specially designed for e-textiles and wearable electronics projects. It delivers the same core functionality as traditional Arduino boards but comes in a lightweight, circular design that reduces snagging and keeps a low profile when stitched onto fabric.
The board features wide, sewable tabs that allow easy attachment using conductive thread, making it ideal for integration into clothing and textile-based designs.
At its core, the LilyPad uses the ATmega328P microcontroller with a preloaded Arduino bootloader. It is built with minimal external components to maintain a compact size and simple structure.
The board operates within a voltage range of 2V to 5V and includes large pin-out holes for convenient sewing and secure connections. All pins—except the positive (+) and negative (–) power pins—can function as input or output pins to control components such as LEDs, motors, and switches.
Each LilyPad board is thoughtfully designed with oversized connection pads to make sewing easier and more reliable. A variety of compatible input, output, power, and sensor modules are available, and the boards are designed to be washable when properly prepared.
