Arduino

For both claire and Michelles dresses we are going to use the Arduino, our microcontroller of choice, in the battle against uninterfaced inputs and outputs! A major plus of deciding on arduino opposed to other controllers is that the Arduino comes in a format specifically aimed at wearables.... The Lillypad Arduino

The Lillypad uses sowable tabs instead of female header pins and features the exact same number as on a standard arduino 328 board, as well as being a fraction of the size and washable!!!

The Lilypad power supply.

Other Bonuses of using the Arduino Platform is that im familiar with the programming language and have experience working with it previously and there is a great deal of projects available open source should we need any direction or help with coding.
