Step 7Readying and Attaching the Accelerometer
Take your LilyPad Accelerometer and attach a lead wire to each of the five pins (Xpin, Ypin, Zpin, positive, and negative) in the same fashion you attached the leads of your LEDs to the arduino (looping through the pin hole and securing with heatshrink). Make sure each of your five leads is long enough to reach from the center-top (where you usually find a tag) to the bottom of the jersey.
Next, sew the accelerometer onto the INSIDE of the jersey in the top-center of the jersey (right underneath the tag if there is one). Once again, make sure you use NON-conductive thread, and feel free to sew through the pin-holes.
Then attach the lead wire for the Xpin to pin A3 on the arduino, the lead for the Ypin to pin 2, the lead for the Zpin to pin 1.
Next, take the positive lead and label it with masking tape as "POSITIVE"
Then, take the negative lead and label it with masking tape as "NEGATIVE"
