Adafruit Love To Code Chibi Chip with Cable

For those curious about venturing into coding without the complexities, the Love to Code (LTC) system by Chibitronics offers an accessible entry point. Designed thoughtfully, it allows anyone to explore programming without the hassle of software installations.

Included in the Chibi Chip Microcontroller Board & Cable kit are the innovative Chibi Chip and a unique power and programming cable. These components breathe life into Chibi Lights LED stickers, enabling them to blink and fade as you desire.

Enhance your creative projects—such as greeting cards or paper crafts—using switches and sensors connected to your Chibi Chip. Its flexible design, especially when paired with the optional Chibi Clip, seamlessly integrates electronics with art, clinging to conductive surfaces like tape or paint.

Choose your coding adventure: employ Microsoft’s MakeCode Editor to drag-and-drop programming blocks, or delve into Arduino-style coding with Chibitronics’ LTC Editor. With six independently programmable ports, you have the ability to drive not only LED stickers but also special LTC Rainbow stickers, expanding your creations into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Powered via a standard USB port, the Chibi Chip fits into your tech ecosystem, compatible with browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer on both desktops and mobile devices. Its versatility even extends to being operable on smartphones and tablets, a rarity among microcontroller platforms.
