@Tob I think I saw a project that used four vibration modules in a belt to as a compass device. In clothing, I think the only good use is for silent notification, just like in mobile phones.

The whole set was exactly 131.99 € (not cool) from Watterott in Germany. Ordering at SparkFun in the US would be even more due to taxes, I suppose.
It’s nice to play with but for a real purpose I’d only get the parts that I need. The LEDs are cheap (1.59) but the accelerometer is not (22.85).
If you only need the main LilyPad board, I can get these cheaper from the Arduino guys in Italy.

I’m thinking about buying a set myself… Would you tell me, where you bought and how much you paid (with postage and taxes and stuff)? Thanks!

It seems the Arduino fever is really speading Just curious: What (non-nasty things) do you do with a vibration device in your clothes? Neat stuff though, looking forward to reading about your first robot suit!
