Paper Circuits|Cardstock, laser printer & reactive foil

Let’s see how to make (art or a working) paper circuit. Paper circuits are common and easy to make. I used a basic laminator, cardstock, and reactive foil.

Choose a basic circuit schematic or art design you like. 

Next you will need to print your work using a laser printer using black ink. The heat reactive foil technology will adhere to this type of ink. 

After you have printed your work on…

Thermochromic ink on and conductive thread Thermochromic ink painted as the leaves of a tree with conductive thread attached the back of paper to heat it and make the leaves disappear.

Trying out ideas for light-up paper sculptures. I've been trying out different ideas for a paper sculptures workshop - the sculptures will light up in the dark (using the circuit from my last post). I'm going to use different thicknesses and types of paper but also paper that has been laser cut and hand cut to cast shadows and patterns.

Circuit Hacking Monday April 28

ATtiny Session: We will add tiny, inexpensive programmable microcontrollers to your paper circuitry, and show you how to solder and the basics of Arduino programming. Please reserve your place by RSVP-ing.

What to bring? • Bring your laptop for programming the microcontrollers. • If you'd like to get your computer set up before you come, instructions are below: -->How to install Arduino -->How to install Arduino for Windows drivers -->How to install add-on for programing ATTinys • All other materials for the workshop are provided, but it would be useful to have some design ideas in mind, and decorative / colored paper or card stock if you like (but not essential).

When? Monday 28th April, 7-9pm, Where? Double Union maker / hacker space How to book? RSVP here! $$$? $3 donations -bring cash on the day

Find out about past events on our wiki page. This is an open event: beginners, enthusiasts, and experts all welcome!

Jie Qi a Ph.D. student at the MIT Media Lab has developed circuit stickers "solder-free, peel-and-stick electronic modules for crafting circuits. Use them to add electronics to any sticker-friendly surface: paper, fabric, glass, the sky’s the limit!" More info at: http://circuitstickers.com/
