Speakers
The only other lines you need to run are to the speakers. Remember that these lines should only be
attached to real speakers or other coil-based transducers; if you need an analog audio output, use
the headphone jack. As the speakers use more current than the switches, you should make the
speaker connections a bit beefier than the others. Be careful not to short the speaker lines together
or to any other connection, and be careful about loose threads at the "Left Speaker -" connection
which is close to the 5V FTDI header.
Battery
To keep the battery from flopping around and possibly breaking its wires, we recommend sewing a
little pocket to hold it snugly. Don't sew it in permanently; you may need to remove it for washing or
replacement. Speaking of which...
Washing
The LilyPad MP3 Player is washable, but because conductive thread connections can be fragile, we
recommend washing your project as little as possible. Please hand-wash, and be sure to remove
the Lipo battery and micro-SD card before washing. Because water can get into lots of little
crevices, allow everything to air-dry for several days before powering it up again.
