<h2>Guide to the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino</h2>
<p>To get started with the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino, follow the directions for the Arduino NG on your operating system (<a class='wikilink' href='Guide_Windows.html'>Windows</a>, <a class='wikilink' href='Guide_MacOSX.html'>Mac OS X</a>, <a class='urllink' href='http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux' rel='nofollow'>Linux</a>. Connecting the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino is a bit more complicated than a regular Arduino board (<a href='#connecting'>see below</a> for instructions and photos).
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>The <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino is more <strong>fragile and easy to break</strong> than a regular Arduino board. Don't connect more than 5.5 volts to the + tab or reverse the power and ground pins of your power supply, or you will very likely kill the <span class='wikiword'>ATmega</span> on the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino. You can't remove the <span class='wikiword'>ATmega</span>, so if you kill it, you need a new <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span>.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>Note: More information about getting started with the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino can be found <a class='urllink' href='http://www.media.mit.edu/~leah/LilyPad' rel='nofollow'>here.</a>

</p><h3>Connecting the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino</h3>
<p>To program the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino, you need to connect it to your computer. The <a class='urllink' href='http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8772' rel='nofollow'>SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout</a> plugs into the 6-pin male header on the newest version of the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span>. Use a USB <span class='wikiword'>MiniB</span> cable to connect the FTDI basic breakout to your computer. You can also use an <a class='urllink' href='http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/EvaluationKits/TTL-232R.htm' rel='nofollow'>FTDI USB-TTL Serial cable</a>.
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><div><img src='http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Guide/lilypad_basicbreakout.jpg' alt='' title='' /></div>
<p class='vspace'></p><p>To connect earlier versions of the board or for information on other connection options see the <a class='urllink' href='http://www.media.mit.edu/~leah/LilyPad' rel='nofollow'>LilyPad Arduino tutorial</a> on Leah's website
</p>
<p class='vspace'></p><h3>Sewing the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino</h3>
<p>The hole on each tab of the <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> is large enough for a sewing needle to pass through. You can make both electrical and physical connections with stitching in conductive thread. Sew through the holes several times to insure good contact. Here's a picture showing a sewn <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span>:

<p class='vspace'></p><p>See the <a class='urllink' href='http://www.media.mit.edu/~leah/LilyPad' rel='nofollow'>LilyPad Arduino tutorial</a> on Leah's website for more information about building a working wearable. See <a class='urllink' href='http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/categories.php?c=135' rel='nofollow'>SparkFun</a> for more stitchable modules that you can use with your <span class='wikiword'>LilyPad</span> Arduino.
