Software Installation

Arduino IDE

The LilyPad USB Plus is programmable via the Arduino IDE. If this is your first time using Arduino, please review our tutorial on installing the Arduino IDE.

LilyPad USB Plus and Board Add-On

If this is your first time working with the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus, you will need to add the board through the boards manager to your program. Please visit the LilyPad ProtoSnap Plus hookup guide for detailed instructions on installing drivers and programming a LilyPad via the Arduino IDE.

Arduino Program

We have provided the code for this project below. Copy and paste it into your Arduino IDE and then upload it to your board. Make sure you have the correct board selected in the boards manager as well as the port under the port drop down.

language:c
//Melissa Felderman for SparkFun Electronics 2017

//variable for sensor pin
int sensorPin = A2;

//variable for light value
int lightValue;

//variable for LEDPin
int LEDPin = 11; 

void setup()
{
    // Set sensorPin as an INPUT
    pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);

    //set LEDPin as OUTPUT
    pinMode(LEDPin, OUTPUT);


void loop()
{

   // Get the current light level
    lightValue = analogRead(sensorPin);

    //if light level is low, turn LEDS on
    if(lightValue <= 15){
      digitalWrite(LEDPin, HIGH);

    }
    //if light is high, turn LEDs off
    else {
      digitalWrite(LEDPin, LOW); 
    }
