This LilyPad development board makes use of the Arduino ATmega32U4 chip and is great for any and all e-textile projects. This design in particular is an updated and more modern version of the LilyPad simple. It has all the features you can except from your traditional Simple (which include a JST connector for your lipo battery holders that can also charge your batteries and a power slide switch to turn off or on the board at your discretion) and more. This time around you won’t need to interface using FTDI anymore because the IC on-board has integrated USB support. Simply connect your system using a micro-USB cable and you’ll be ready to program using ARDUINO IDE software, which now supports LilyPad USB. The board itself includes only a few of the pin outs you can expect from an Arduino ATmega32U4 system (A2 to A5, pin 2-3, pin 9-11, + and - , look at pinout). All you need is a 2.7V to 5V supply to power it. It even comes with a reset switch on the board. The minimalist and low-profile design of the LilyPad 32U4 makes it a perfect choice for projects looking to embed a microcontroller board onto textile surfaces. The large pin-out pads simplify the task of making connections using conductive thread.

With this module in your possession you’ll be able to finally connect your Arduino Nano to the internet. Simply plug your Nano directly on to the board and you’ll be ready to go in terms of hardware connections. This setup makes your final product look compact and very practical. If, however, your application makes use of a different controller board, know that this module is not exclusive to the Nano. Since the 28 pin ENC28J60 Ethernet controller communicates using an SPI interface, with the proper connections made, you can interface with most micro controllers. Thanks to the RJ45 connector on the board, you can establish a reliable wired connection to the internet.

The Spectacle Light Board allows you to add some fairly complex lighting effects to your Spectacle projects in a streamlined manner. Each has connections for you to add addressable LEDs as well as an external power connector. Designed to make it easy to add relatively complex lighting effects to your Spectacle projects, the Spectacle Light Board integrates with the rest of the Spectacle ecosystem to allow you to control lighting effects with ease and comfort. The Light Board is equipped with two 3.5mm TRRS jacks for Spectacle control signals from a Director Board (DEV-13912). The one labeled “In” should be plugged into a board that is closer to the Director Board than the Light Board is, or into the Director Board itself. Make sure to pay attention to the directionality of the jacks, as they will dictate how your Spectacle modules speak with one another and with the Director Board. As with every other Spectacle module, you will need the Director Board to operate any Spectacle project.

The Spectacle Button Board allows you to add input from buttons, switches or other contact-type sensing devices to your Spectacle projects. This is the largest board in the Spectacle line due to its total of nine signal inputs, allowing for a large number of connections to a single module. Designed to bring simple signals from the world into your Spectacle projects, the Button Board provides input for any of your Spectacle projects! The Button Board is equipped with two 3.5mm TRRS jacks for Spectacle control signals from a Director Board (DEV-13912). The one labeled “In” should be plugged into a board that is closer to the Director Board than the Button Board is, or into the Director Board itself. Make sure to pay attention to the directionality of the jacks, as they will dictate how your Spectacle modules speak with one another and with the Director Board. As with every other Spectacle module, you will need the Director Board to operate any Spectacle project.

The Spectacle Audio Board allows you to add sound from a microSD card to your Spectacle projects. Each board accepts a microSD card with sounds in .ogg format, and has a 1/8" (3.5mm) audio jack line-level output ready to be amplified. It is important to know that the files used by the Spectacle Audio Board must be in OGG Vorbis format. This free codec has a higher compression ratio than MP3 and, more importantly, can be used without paying a licensing fee to any third-party organization. We use the free, open source program Audacity to convert from whatever the file’s current format is to OGG Vorbis. The Audio Board is equipped with three 3.5mm TRRS jacks: two for Spectacle control signals from a Director Board (DEV-13912) and one for an amplified speaker. The one labeled “In” should be plugged into a board that is closer to the Director Board than the Audio Board is, or into the Director Board itself. Make sure to pay attention to the directionality of the jacks, as they will dictate how your Spectacle modules speak with one another and with the Director Board. As with every other Spectacle module, you will need the Director Board to operate any Spectacle project.
