Programming the LilyMini
Introduction
The LilyMini is a tiny sewable computer that you can use to make interactive craft projects. The LilyMini is part of the LilyPad line - a unique collection of electronic parts designed to be connected together with conductive thread instead of wire. The LilyMini comes pre-programmed to blink LEDs in fun ways, but you can also write your own programs using the popular (and free!) Arduino system. It’s easy, we’ll show you how!
In this tutorial, we'll set up the Arduino software to program the LilyMini. The process is the same whether you are using a standalone LilyMini (Coming Soon!) or the LilyMini ProtoSnap.
Once you've set up Arduino using the instructions in this tutorial, you'll be able to write and upload your own programs to the LilyMini.
