Programming the Chibitronics LTC Chip
- First, create an artwork on paper that you would like to illuminate with LED light.
- Next, on a separate layer, create a circuit on paper using adhesive-backed copper foil, surface mount LEDs and Addressable LEDs.
- Now, clip the LTC board on the circuit layer and connect a micro USB to a laptop to provide power and programming connection
- Modify the code in Arduino and upload to the LTC device
- Provide external power to illuminate your work
