DESCRIPTION
The TinyLily Mini USB Adapter adds USB support for the TinyLily Mini via a micro-USB connector and uses the very popular FTDI USB to Serial converter IC (as used on most standard Arduino models). A small 5-pin plug allows connection to the TinyLily Mini programming header. Using this board allows you to download new sketches

The Tiny Lily USB adapter is required to load a program into the Tiny Lily Mini processor. This work it does quite well.
I want to give one additional hint, however: After working with it for a while I experienced that one of the pins of the female connector could lose connection. Therefore I fix the connector to the board before first use by a piece of tape. This way it cannot move and the connection holds for a long time.
Maybe not required for wearables, however, I solder the Tiny Lily Mini on a board, as it has such small dimensions in comparison to other processor boards:
Smaller than the various Arduinos you may get, as e.g. Arduino Nano, Arduino Pro Mini, etc.
