Hardware Overview and Features
Don’t snap apart your LilyPad E-Sewing ProtoSnap until you're ready to use the pieces in a project. If you leave the pieces attached to the board, you'll be able to prototype and test your project before you start sewing.
Like other LilyPad ProtoSnap series boards, the individual pieces of the board are pre-wired - allowing you to try out the function of the circuit before sewing. The E-Sewing ProtoSnap includes three white LilyPad LEDs: two connected to a LilyPad Slide Switch and one connected to a LilyPad Button Board. A LilyPad Coin Cell Battery Holder with a 3V Coin Cell Battery provides the power for the circuit. These parts are connected together by conductive pathways called traces.
