Chibi Clip

The Chibi Clip is an indispensable partner for the Chibi Chip. It allows for rapid testing and reuse of the Chip. Attaching or detaching the Chip to paper - based circuits is as effortless as closing a bag of chips. Design your paper electronics project on stiff paper using conductive tape or paint, then clip on the Chibi and watch the magic unfold! When creating copper tape patterns for the Clip, use the Chip as a guide on the paper's edge before laying the tape. Ensure the tape runs to the edge and is as smooth as possible, as large wrinkles can prevent the Chip from connecting properly. Remember, the Chibi Chip is sold separately, but we have it in stock. Just follow the step - by - step instructions on the box back to insert the Chip into the Clip and you're good to go! Chibitronics is a great collaboration between bunnie Huang and Jie Qi. Jie, a MIT Media Lab PhD student, combines arts, crafts, electronics, and programming in her research, while bunnie, the Director of Studio Kosagi, designs and manufactures hardware.

Using the Chibi Clip is a breeze. First, design your paper electronics project on stiff paper with conductive tape or paint. If you're making copper tape patterns, use the Chibi Chip as a marker on the paper's edge to figure out where to lay the tape. Make sure the tape reaches the edge and is smooth. Then, insert the Chibi Chip into the Clip following the step - by - step instructions on the back of the box. Once the Chip is in the Clip, you can easily attach or detach it to your paper circuit. A key thing to note is that the Chibi Chip is sold separately, so grab both from our shop. When handling the tape, avoid creating large wrinkles as they can stop the Chip from connecting well. There's no special maintenance needed for the Clip, but keep it in a dry place to prevent any damage. Just enjoy creating your paper electronics projects with the Chibi Clip and Chip combo!
