Hey Guys (and/or Gals?),
Thanks for your input so far! Its great to know our project isn't too far fetched.
We checked out the LilyPad and comparing it side by side with the Diecimila, it seems like they both have the same number of I/O pins. The main differences seem to be that the LilyPad uses less power and has a slower clock speed. Is that it? The lilly pad also costs almost half the price of the Diecimila. It does look like it has a lot less components, and its lacking the long chip found on the Diecimila. Being able to sew it into clothing isn't that important to us at the moment. We'd certainly prefer expandability/flexibility over style for now. Can you confirm the difference between one and the other?
As for multiplexing, yah... we will definitely be needing some of that! Thanks for the suggestion and the link...
