LilyPad Vibe Board

SparkFun LilyPad Vibe Board (DEV-11008)

Apply 5V and be shaken by this small, but powerful vibration motor. Works great as an physical indicator without notifying anyone but the wearer. This version uses a surface mount motor which is less likely to be damaged during use. When using with a 3.3V LilyPad Arduino, make sure to use a transistor in order to source enough current.
