Flex Foil Programmer results

I have received and built the in circuit version of the flex foil programmer and now have it working. There are a number of issues that I still want to improve on. The programmer consists of an AVR ISP programmer…

Flex Circuit

As I experiment with the idea of flexible paper circuits I decided to try out a flex circuit material from http://www.conductiveinkjet.com/.The flexible circuit is available in 28cm wide sheets and the length determines the cost. The material costs ~$75/meter. To…

Birthday Cards

With April arriving birthdays abound so I decided to personalize my cards using copper foil circuits. The concept was simple; have a card with coloured balloons and a gift. Each balloon would be backlit with colour LEDs while the gift…

Laser cut side lit LEDs

As part of my research into paper circuits I have been exploring the possibility of mounting LEDs on edge in a piece of matte board. This mounting geometry allows you to create a stained glass effect where cut-outs in the…

Paper Tiny44 Arduino

This is my first look into the possibility of creating a simple computer circuit built of paper and copper foil. The design actually supports a complete Arduino sketch environment and costs less than $2 to build. So lets get started.…
