Use the light sensor sticker to control the brightness of your LEDs with the light sensor. The light sensor sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The more light the sticker is exposed to, the higher the voltage on the signal, which causes the lights to become brighter […]
Effects Sticker Tutorial
Use the effect stickers to make your LEDs shine different patterns, depending on which sticker you choose: blink on and off, fade in and out, pulse in a heartbeat and twinkle like a star. The effect sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The signal […]
Getting Started with Copper Tape
This video tutorial shows the basics of working with copper tape for making paper electronics Copper foil tape comes in two forms: with conductive adhesive and with non-conductive adhesive. You can order copper foil tape with conductive adhesive online here. Copper tape with non-conductive adhesive is more common. For example you can get it at your […]

A new way to make circuits
chibitronics takes the soldering out of making electronic circuits. chibitronic components are provided as stickers, so applying them is as easy as peel and stick; wires are likewise laid down using sticky copper tape. Our components are fabricated on a flexible kapton substrate, laminated with an anisotropic conductive tape, and then die-cut into friendly and […]
