Looking to add more functionality to your paper circuits? This tutorial goes over the how to assemble the Chibi

Chip programmable microcontroller with the Chibi Clip to add more functionality to your paper circuits! We will also

go over how to program your Chibi Chip microcontroller board by writing code (block-based and text-based) in a

browser-based code editor and then transmit code through sound to your board.

Suggested Reading

You may need to know the following concepts before working with one of these boards:

Assemble Your Chibi Clip

Note: The Chibi Chip and Clip will be pre-assembled in the Love to Code Creative Coding Kit.

The following will show you how to connect the Chibi Chip programmable board into a reusable clip to add more

functionality to your paper circuits!

What is a Circuit?

Every electrical project starts with a circuit. Don't know

what a circuit is? We're here to help.

Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Ohm's Law

Learn about Ohm's Law, one of the most fundamental

equations in all electrical engineering.

Polarity

An introduction to polarity in electronic components.

Discover what polarity is, which parts have it, and how

to identify it.

The Great Big Guide to Paper Circuits

Let's take a look at different materials we can use to

combine paper crafting and electronics.

Hardware Hookup

Remove example paper insert.

How to Assemble the Chibi Clip

Remove the adhesive tape from your clip holder.

Flip the clip over so that the flat side showing “Chibitronics” faces up and open the clip.

Hold your Chibi Chip with flat side facing up and insert the flexible part into the three notches on the mouth of the

clip.

Close the clip and gently bend the board up over the clip.

Slide the rigid board into the hook at the top of your clip.

You’re done! Now you can open and close the clip with your Chibi Chip attached.

Try creating a simple circuit with one LED and traces that align to the Chibi Chip and clip's tabs.

Removing Chibi Chip from Clip

If you need to remove the Chibi Chip from your clip, slide out the flexible part from the clip and the rest of the

board will slide off.

Power Your Circuit

You can power your Chibi Chip with any 5V USB power supply! Here are a few examples.

Love to Code Powered Binder

Heads up! You will need 3x AA batteries, which are not included with the Love to Code Creative Coding

Kit. The Love to Code powered binder can run on regular and rechargeable batteries.

If you have a Love to Code powered binder with batteries, you can plug in the USB cable directly into the binder.

To turn on your binder, slide the power switch to the left like this:

Computer USB Port

You can also use a computer or laptop USB port to power the Chibi Chip.

USB Wall Adapter

USB wall adapters also make great power supplies since you don’t need to worry about running down batteries.

USB Battery Packs

Finally, USB phone charger battery packs work as a handy portable power supply! Make sure your charger battery

pack has an on/off switch so that you can keep the power supply on. The Chibi Chip runs on low power so the

battery pack may automatically turn off by itself.

Uploading via Audio

The Chibi Chip uses an audio connector to upload code! Let's go over how to make the connection.

Hardware Hookup

Plug in the other end of the micro-B USB into the Chibi Chip board’s USB connector.

Plug the audio cable into the audio jack of your programming device (i.e computer, phone, or tablet).

Unmute your device and turn the volume all the way up. This will make sure the code plays to your Chibi Chip loud

and clear!

Press the PROG button on the Chibi Chip and hold it until the PROG light blinks and stays red. This puts your

Chibi Chip into programming mode – it’ll know to listen for code!

Open your programming editor of your choice and write some code! You can either go with a block-based code

editor or text-based code editor.

Software: MakeCode

To program the Chibi Chip, there are a two options available depending on your preference. Both require an

internet connection to upload code to the microcontroller.

Block-Based Code w/ Microsoft MakeCode Online Editor

If you’re new to code, try Chibitronic's Scratch-inspired block-based code editor in Microsoft MakeCode!
