Step 4Adding power
Because I chose to dangle my heart from the power source, I needed to make the positive power lead be on one side of the board and the negative be on the other. To do this, I first tried using conductive thread, but had a short I couldn't find, so I decided to redo it with just a little bit of insulated stranded wire. Solder a small piece from the + on the LIlyPad across the board to one of the analog inputs.
I used two more pieces of stranded wire to make the dangly connections between the battery board and the main board. I had to bridge the + on the battery board over to one of the unused pins on the opposite end of the battery holder to keep the dangly wire supports symmetrical. I used conductive thread for this; you can see it on the back of the battery board.
