Introduction

The LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus is a sewable electronics (e-textile) prototyping board that you can use to explore circuits and programming, then break apart to make an interactive fabric or wearable project.

The board

Overview

“At the center of the ProtoSnap Plus is a LilyPad USB Plus microcontroller, pre-wired to LilyPad pieces including a LilyPad Light Sensor, LilyPad Buzzer, LilyPad Button Board, four pairs of colored LilyPad LEDs, and a LilyPad Slide Switch. Because these components are connected together on the ProtoSnap board, you can test out your project ideas before you sew. The ProtoSnap Plus also includes Expansion Ports; these let you use alligator cables to easily connect external sensors and components to the board. After testing out your coding ideas using the attached LilyPad pieces, you can break apart the board and sew them into your project.” (LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus Hookup Guide, retrieved Aug 27, 2019).

The LilyPad USB Plus

“The LilyPad USB Plus is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller similar to the LilyPad Arduino USB - ATmega32U4 Board but with some additional features and three additional sew tabs. It is currently only available on the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus.” (LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus Hookup Guide, retrieved Aug 27, 2019)

This micro-controller includes the following:

  • USB B port for connecting to a computer.
  • Two sets of power (+) and ground (-) sew tabs.
  • Built-in RGB LED attached to pins 12 (R), 13 (G), and 14 (B).
  • A row of six small white LEDs attached to pins 15-20.
  • Charging circuit for single-cell (3.7V) Lithium-Polymer batteries.

The different tabs are documented in detail in the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus Hookup Guide
