Check out dozens of FLORA tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System, with more added all the time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe FLORA is\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003esmall (1.75\" diameter, weighing 4.4 grams)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The FLORA family also has the best stainless steel threads, sensors, GPS modules and chainable LED NeoPixels, perfect accessories for the FLORA main board. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FLORA has \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in USB support\u003c\/strong\u003e. Built in USB means you plug it in to program it, it just shows up - all you need is a Micro-USB cable, no additional purchases are needed! We have a modified version of the Arduino IDE so Mac \u0026amp; 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 \u003cstrong\u003eUSB HID support, so it can act like a mouse or keyboard\u003c\/strong\u003e to attach directly to computers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFLORA has a small but easy to use \u003cstrong\u003eonboard reset button to reboot the system\u003c\/strong\u003e. The power supply is designed to be flexible and easy to use. There is an \u003cstrong\u003eonboard polarized 2 JST battery connector\u003c\/strong\u003e with protection schottky diode for use with external battery packs from 3.5v to 16v DC in. \u003cstrong\u003eCan be used with LiIon\/LiPoly, LiFe, alkaline or rechargeable NiMh\/NiCad batteries of any size\u003c\/strong\u003e. The FLORA \u003cstrong\u003edoes not have a LiPo charger included\u003c\/strong\u003e 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. We suggest one of our micro-lipo chargers if you want to use LiPo batteries with FLORA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFLORA has\u003cstrong\u003e onboard power switch\u003c\/strong\u003e connected to 2A power FET for safe and efficient battery on\/off control, so you can power quite a bit without burning out your switch. The FLORA has an \u003cstrong\u003eonboard 3.3v 250mA regulator\u003c\/strong\u003e with a protection diode and USB fuse so that the microcontroller voltage is consistent and can power common 3.3v modules and sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe spent a lot of time on the power supply because the FLORA power system is specifically \u003cstrong\u003edesigned to allow easy control and power of a large quantity of addressable NeoPixels.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flora can easily drive 50 pixels directly from the onboard power supply, or up to 500 with the pixels externally powered by a separate 5V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFLORA is fabric friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e-- all the components on board are flush to the PCB and won't snag delicate garments (it does not use FTDI headers).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFLORA is extremely beginner-friendly \u003c\/strong\u003e- it is difficult to destroy the FLORA by connecting a battery backwards due to polarized connector and protection diodes. The on-board regulator means that even connecting a 9V battery will not result in damage or tears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe FLORA has 4 indicator LEDs \u003c\/strong\u003e- power good, digital signal LED for bootloader feedback, data rx\/tx. Also onboard is an ICSP connector for easy reprograming for advanced users. Flora v2 even has an RGB NeoPixel for even more colorful lighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThere are 14 sewing tap pads\u003c\/strong\u003e for attachment and electrical connections. Data buses are interleaved with power and ground pads for easy module and sensor attachments without worrying about overlapping traces which are not possible with conductive thread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs of July 7 2016 we're now selling Flora v3 with  alligator-clip friendly pads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nThe FLORA works great with the Arduino IDE and is super easy to install support if you have IDE 1.6.4 or later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FLORA is not the first wearable Arduino \/ Arduino-compatible. Leah Buechley’s Lilypad was developed in 2007 and while they are both round, FLORA is a completely new platform that works seamlessly with the FLORA accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou may get an off-white or black JST connector.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rJINHq07em0?si=R4jpQBhBX3A3H7F7\u0026amp;start=632\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 45mm round x 7mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting Started with FLORA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x FLORA - Wearable electronic platform V3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48620791726302,"sku":"nqr1787257439607","price":11.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/0705\/9422\/files\/flora---wearable-electronic-platform_1.jpg?v=1787257448","url":"https:\/\/primewearfashion.shop\/products\/flora-wearable-electronic-platform","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
