LilyPad MP3

The LilyPad MP3 Player is your all-in-one audio solution featuring an Arduino-compatible microcontroller an MP3 (and many other formats) audio decoder chip a micro-SD card socket and a stereo audio amplifier. Part of the Lilypad E-textiles line this board can be used to give your fabric creations the gift of music or any other sounds you can put on a micro-SD card.It can be powered by a 3.7V LiPo battery (charging circuit built in!) or an external 3.5-6V source. Off the shelf it will play specific audio files when any of its five trigger inputs are grounded or you can solder in an RGB rotary encoder (not included) and load new firmware (included in the link below) to add a user interface for track selection and volume control!The board is compatible with sketches written for the MP3 Player Shield. Our example code uses Bill Porter's MP3 Player library which makes writing new code very easy. All you need to do is add a microSD card and some speakers and you're ready to rock.Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley to support continued development and education in e-textiles and to Arduino LLC to help fund the development of new tools and IDE features.
