Lilypad 328 Main Board Power Source

Other E-textiles

I am trying to link up 6 servos and a proximity sensor to the Lilypad 328 Main Board.

I have problems finding the correct way to power the Arduino as the components requires 5v, I thought the coin battery component was enough, but that was not the case. If there are any components or suggestions, which might work to give enough power that would be appreciated.

Thanks

To power/control that many you’ll need to use something like this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16773 with its own +/- supply (larger than a coin cell, usually…check the servo specs to see how many mAh they draw)

Or this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14285 with a redboard https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13975 (if your project can enlarge!)
