LilyPad ATmega328P 16MHz Dev Board Compatible with Arduino
LilyPad ATmega328P 16M Development Board - Compatible with Arduino
The LilyPad ATmega328P is a sewable microcontroller board built around the ATmega328P chip running at 16 MHz. It’s pre-loaded with the Arduino bootloader, ready for programming via an FTDI breakout, and is designed specifically for wearable and e-textile projects. With large sew tabs and a compact round form factor, it integrates easily into fabric circuits while providing the full capabilities of an Arduino Uno in a textile-friendly package.

Compatibility
Fully compatible with the Arduino IDE; select “LilyPad Arduino” board setting. Works with 3.3V and 5V sensors, actuators, and LilyPad accessory boards like the LilyPad LED, buzzer, and button. Connects to an FTDI Basic Breakout (5V) for programming. Pairs well with the LilyPad Simple Power or a 3.7V LiPo battery with JST connector.
Wiring Notes
Sew connections using stainless steel conductive thread from the board’s large pads to components. Each I/O pin can source up to 40mA; for higher loads, add a transistor. Power the board via the JST connector (3.7V battery) or through the FTDI header. Avoid overlapping conductive threads to prevent short circuits.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Uno programs?
Yes, it uses the same ATmega328P chip. Most Uno sketches work without changes. In the Arduino IDE, select “LilyPad Arduino” (16 MHz, 5V logic) under the Tools > Board menu.
Does this board include an FTDI programmer?
No, the FTDI programmer is sold separately. You’ll need a 5V FTDI Basic Breakout or USB-to-serial converter to upload code to the LilyPad.
Can I wash my project after sewing this board into fabric?
The board is not waterproof and should be removed before washing. For washable garments, consider using a removable mount or sealing the board in a waterproof pouch. Conductive thread connections also need protection.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
