Adafruit FLORA - Wearable electronic platform: Arduino-compatible

Key Features:

• FLORA is fabric friendly and beginner-friendly
• 4 indicator LEDs and an RGB NeoPixel for even more colorful lighting
• Easily drive 50 pixels directly from the onboard power supply or up to 500 pixels with a 5V supply
• Can power common 3.3 v modules and sensors.

FLORA is Adafruit' s fully-featured wearable electronics platform. It' s a small, round, sewable, Arduino-compatible microcontroller designed to empower amazing wearables projects. The FLORA family also has the best stainless steel threads, sensors, GPS modules and chainable LED NeoPixels, perfect accessories for the FLORA main board.

The FLORA has built-in USB support. Built in USB means you plug it in to program it, it just shows up - all you need is a Micro-B USB cable, no additional purchases are needed! We have a modified version of the Arduino IDE so Mac & Windows users can get started fast - or with the new 1.6. 4+ Arduino IDE, it takes only a few seconds to add Flora-support. The FLORA has USB HID support, so it can act like a mouse or keyboard to attach directly to computers.

FLORA has a small but easy to use onboard reset button and a onboard power switch for safe and efficient battery on/off control. The power supply is designed to be flexible and easy to use. There is an onboard polarized 2 JST battery connector with protection schottky diode for use with external battery packs from 3.5 v to 16v DC in. Can be used with LiIon/LiPoly, LiFe, alkaline or rechargeable NiMh/NiCad batteries of any size. The FLORA does not have a LiPo charger included by design, this allows safe use with multiple battery types and reduces risk of fire as it is not recommended to charge these batteries on fabric.
