We use the ATtiny45 from Atmel, a small and cheap (~$1) microcontroller that can be glued directly to paper or other objects. We then <a href=\"http:\/\/web.media.mit.edu\/%7Eplusea\/?p=32\">construct circuits using conductive silver ink<\/a>, dispensed from squeeze bottles with needle tips. This makes it possible to draw a circuit, adding lights, speakers, and other electronic components. Alternatively, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=1653\">make circuits with copper tape<\/a> (as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=2505\">simple circuits without microcontrollers<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>To program the microcontroller, we\u2019ve developed a set of hardware and software tools. The <a href=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=1801\">TinyProgrammer<\/a> plugs into the USB port of a computer and loads a program onto the microcontroller. We\u2019ve also developed a <a href=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=1695\">plugin for the Arduino software<\/a> that makes it easy to write the code that runs on the microcontroller. We call this set of tools an \u201cuntoolkit\u201d because it provides the ease-of-use of other electronic toolkits but using off-the-shelf electronic components.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=2705\" title=\"http:\/\/hlt.media.mit.edu\/?p=2705\">More Here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>prostheticknowledge: Microcontrollers as Craft Material\u00a0 High-Low Tech have put together some tools and techniques to integrate electronics into craft works: We\u2019ve developed a set of tools and techniques that make it easy to use microcontrollers as an art or craft material, embedding them directly into drawings or other artifacts.
