CRITICAL NEED!
I have the new LilyPad and the BlinkM and need to program the BlinkM to change colors according to a temp sensor. How do I connect and program the LilyPad (Arduino program). Reference/pointers to sites/examples would be great.
I’m desperate

Inappropriate?Connecting a BlinkM up to a Lilypad Arduino is just like hooking it up to a normal Arduino: BlinkM "+" & "-" go to the power, and "d" & "c" go to Analog pins 4 & 5 (which double as the I2C signals). Below is a diagram showing the hookup.
What kind of temp sensor do you have? The "Environmental" section of the Interfacing with Hardware page on the Arduino playground lists a few different temp sensors and how to use them.
Be aware that you may not be able to use BlinkM with conductive thread. We've not tested this out yet, but we know that conductive thread isn't as good as wires, so it may impact the communication between the Lilypad and BlinkM.
