Poor quality control

Poor quality control and packaging. Upon arrival, the mini-USB connector was crushed and separated from the circuit board. As you can see in the attached image, the reset button was misaligned during soldering.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • too blunt

but it worked for me and it works fine. I leave a good review because other people.

There is a reported problem finding a port for this Lilypad on newer Macs. You need to play around with the FTDI driver and bootloader. It took a while but I got it working and it works fine. I'm leaving a good review because other people had a similar problem even with Adafruit Lilypads, so I'm not sure if the problem is unique to this particular board.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great for simple, low-cost projects

Built-in USB works well with Mac OS X Sierra. (You need to install FTDI drivers which are not included in Arduino IDE). There were problems with Mac OS X and another LilyPad with a separate USB board. I recommend using this one instead (as does AMX3d customer support). I've had some technical issues with previous purchases of the same board, but the amazing AMX3d customer service team was committed to fixing it. One of the best customer service experiences I've had in a while.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • New Competitors Emerge

Lilypad Arduino with Micro USB connector

I have ordered 4 LilyPad Arduino boards and 3/4 work fine. One was defective but the return/exchange option was very easy and I was easily able to get a refund for the defective item. I'm relatively new to complex technology but found Lilypad easy to use after finding the instructions online. This product was suitable for textile/clothing projects that I wanted to do. I find this product easier to use than some other Lilypads because this model has a direct micro USB connection and does not…

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
