OPTION 1) arduino pro mini (LilyPad Arduino 328 Main Board)

The LilyPad Arduino 328 Main Board is an Arduino-programmed microcontroller designed to be easily integrated into e-textiles and wearable projects. It offers the same functionality you find in other Arduino boards, in a lightweight, round package designed to minimize snagging and profile, with wide tabs that can be sewn down and connected with conductive thread.

The LilyPad Arduino consists of an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader and a minimum number of external components to keep it as small (and as simple) as possible. This board will run from 2.7V to 5V and offers large pin-out holes that make it easy to sew and connect. Each of these pins, with the exception of (+) and (-), can control an attached input or output device (like a light, motor, or switch).

In arduino IDE, please select board as “Arduino promini”.

Parameter

• Operating voltage 2.7-5.5 V
• Digital I / O pin 14 (6 provides PWM output)
• Analog input pin 6
• DC current of each I / O pin is 40mA
• 16 KB (2 KB) used by flash boot loader
• Static memory 1 KB
• EEPROM 512 Bytes

OPTION 2) FTDI Basic Breakout to TTL - 3.3V/5V(change by switch on board)

this is used to connected theh option 1) to pc for programming.
