Can you make a tiny radio to go with it? The lilypad/xbee is ENORMOUS. Tinyfied sewable xbee/other mesh capable radios would be AMAZING.� Right now I do without mesh in my wearables projects to get a little cheaper and have fewer components - with the Jeenode board/HopeRF.</p>
<p>Also for powering wearables, as they get more complex my preferance would be, rather than coin cells, distributed microcontrollers but centralized power, probably a cell phone battery in a belt pack? Support baked in for that would be nice.</p>
<p>I confess I haven't looked at your project at all, so maybe you've addressed these things!</p>

<div>�</div>
<div>I'm with SYN/HAK, the Akron, Ohio (USA) Hackerspace, and am in the process of starting up an open source hardware company here in our city.� I hope this doesn't come off as spam, but I'm trying to spread the word to other Hackerspaces�about our new open source project�on Kickstarter called the TinyDuino and TinyLily. �This is a family of boards that shrink the size of the Arduino to a new low, but without giving up the signals, processor power / memory, and expansion capabilities (via shields) that make the Arduino so powerful.� </div>
<div>�</div>
<div>The TinyDuino is just 20mmx20mm (Smaller than a US Quarter)! with a coin cell battery holder option, but still has stackable shield support and all the Arduino shield signals available!� And it uses the same Atmel microcontroller as used on the Arduino Uno.</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>The TinyLily Mini is 14mm in diameter (Smaller than a US dime)!� This board has large sewtabs for easy soldering to, and also uses the same ATmega328p as used on an Uno.� </div>
<div>�</div>
<div>I'm interested in any feedback you have on this project, and look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.� </div>
<div>�</div>
