I am fumbling my way through a very simple project in which I am placing mico led's in a dress with conductive thread. I am wondering if I might get some feedback on the code, mainly, will this work? Unfortunately I have basically zero programming, electronics experience, this has been quite a painful process. First, for reference, I will cite some of the materials I am using,
LilyPad Arduino 328 Main Board
LilyPad FTDI Basic Breakout Board - 5V
LilyPad LED Micro - White
Conductive thread 28 Ohms/Ft
( For some reason in place of the #8 appears a smiley face, there's no way to fix it in this post :Z )
