Love to Code Pre-mounted Chibi Chip and Clip

Grades 4-12.

Combo makes it easy to reuse the Chibi Chip across multiple projects and classes.

• The heart of the Love to Code system, the Chibi Chip brings life to LED stickers by making them blink and fade
• Love to Code enables beginners of all backgrounds and ages to try out programming without needing to install software
• Add interactivity to greeting cards and projects by connecting switches and sensors to the chip
• Choose how to make the programs: either by dragging-and-dropping blocks together using Microsoft’s® MakeCode Editor, or by writing Arduino-style computer code using Chibitronics’ LTC Editor (WEB: Need links to both code editors)
• Clip enables rapid testing and reuse of the chip
• Clip makes attaching and detaching chip to circuits built on paper as easy as using a clothespin
• Clip uses the tension of its built-in spring to press the chip’s electrodes onto copper tape, allowing quick and easy reuse of a clip-mounted chip between multiple projects and students
• When designing copper tape patterns to work with the clip, it’s recommended to use the chip as a guide and mark on the paper’s edge where the copper tape should go before laying out the copper tape
• Run the tape all the way to the edge of the paper
• Make sure the tape is as smooth as you can make it before attempting to clip
• Large wrinkles will get in the way of a clip-mounted chip from touching down on all the pieces of copper tape
