I’m really excited about this new sewable Arduino compatible board called the FLORA:
Adafruit created the FLORA from scratch after many months of research and we really think we came up with something that will empower some amazing wearable projects.
The FLORA is not the first wearable Arduino/Arduino-compatible. Leah Buechley’s LilyPad was developed in 2007 – we wanted to also make something that’s wearable, but it needed to be a completely new platform for our accessories/modules and goals for the project.
The FLORA is small (1.75″ diameter). We wanted the smallest possible board for our wearable platform.
It’s based on our experiences shipping our own, shipping, customer-tested Atmega32u4 Breakout Board.
Many more details highlighting key features at the FLORA announcement post. The FLORA is in beta, and they’re seeking feedback for future revisions.
