Attaching to a LilyPad Arduino

The LilyPad Light Sensor has three sew tabs - Power (+), Ground (-), and Signal (S). The signal tab should be connected to an analog tab (marked with an 'A') on the LilyPad Arduino.

To follow along with the code examples in this tutorial, connect the light sensor to a LilyPad Arduino as shown below. Use alligator clips to temporarily connect Signal to A3 on a LilyPad Arduino, (-) to (-) on the LilyPad, and (+) to A5. When you are finished prototyping, replace the alligator clips with conductive thread traces for permanent installation in your project.
