LilyPad Arduino Blinking Bike Safety Patch

Step 4 Sew the LilyPad pins to the LED positive leads

This part can take some time. According to the schematic, sew the positive (square-coiled) leads of the LEDs to their respective pins on the LilyPad Arduino. Be sure not to cross any threads, and tie tight knots with close-trimmed ends to prevent fraying fibers from shorting your circuit. I stopped often to let the needle dangle and untwist the thread as I worked, as it likes to get tangled and caught.

At this point you can plug the battery into the LiPower and turn the thing on. Use the other piece of conductive velcro to bridge the two patch tabs and see if your LilyPad boots up. Press the reset button a few times and watch that little green LED on board blink a little. Now you know it's working!
