Connecting the LilyPad Arduino and Mini USB Adapter
Now you can attach the LilyPad to your computer by plugging the Mini USB into
your computer and clipping the alligator clips to the TX, RX, +, and - tabs on the
LilyPad. You might want to cut a piece of felt to put under your LilyPad before
attaching the clips. This will make them less prone to slipping. Here is a photo
showing the LilyPad Arduino connected to the Mini USB adapter.
And here's a close-up showing how the alligator clips attach to the LilyPad.
