LilyPad Protoboard Large

This is a large board for prototyping through-hole components with the LilyPad system. There are an array of pins all shorted together with 10mil traces. This allows for quick and easy prototyping - all you have to do is cut the traces between holes you don't want connected! Standard 0.1" array. Check rear photo for trace configuration.

LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. They're even washable!

Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued development and education of e-textiles and to Kate Hartman for product support and continued development.

  • 50mm outer diameter
  • Thin 0.8mm PCB

  • Someone tell me how you’re supposed to use this… I think I need one but I don’t know how to use these.

    Please make one of these without the "helpful" traces. Seriously, these things are unbelievably difficult to cut.

    How do you use this? What do they mean by 'cut the traces'? Thanks in advance!

    I'd like to see a 4-inch purple protoboard that allows you to mount the Lilypad in the center and gives 1-inch space all around - how about it???
    PS This'd make a really cool LED clock!

    It would be nice if you would extend the length/width by one more hole. That way I could get a TLC5940 soldered onto it.

    Are they really for free ?

    • José Heriberto López / about 11 years ago / 1

      What do you mean by "free"? The price is $6.95 USD.
