LilyPad Arduino stuff arrived
For the upcoming workshop(s), I wanted some Arduino variants to show around. The first batch to arrive today was a complete* set of LilyPad Arduino stuff (*missing the optional Lithium battery pack adaptor):
The board and LEDs, buzzer and vibration module are all working, still have to check the sensors. Missing from the picture is the spool of conductive thread to sew the boards onto fabrics. It was 20 € (ouch) but I guess 600m of thread lasts a long time.

More Arduino tinkering
This was just a test in LED matrix soldering and multiplexed switching, but everything worked right away with about twenty lines of code. Neat.
Update: Yes, this means I went out and bought an Arduino. Might become a business too, but sssh!
