Ball pen to create conductive drawings on Kickstarter collected 477 thousand dollars instead of 85 thousand
Now in the world there are a lot of all sorts of ideas that are designed to make life easier for us. One of these ideas implemented is the Circuit Scriber ballpoint pen, designed for applying conductive lines / pattern on plain paper. So, within a couple of minutes, you can sketch a working (although probably not very complicated) electrical circuit by checking its work.

It is worth noting that the applied lines are not smeared on paper, which will help keep the nervous system in order for the owner of such a pen.
The handle can be used, for example, by children to learn radio / electrical engineering. Professionals can also use it to quickly create a work scheme and test it.
The authors of the project offered several options for using the pen, in addition, they showed in practice the possibility of assembling systems based on Arduino, Makey Makey and other platforms, using the “drawings” of their pen.
It is worth noting that the authors have already collected 477 thousand dollars from the planned 85 thousand (!) On kickstarter. But there are still 22 days left before the end of the fundraising.
For a certain amount of money "investors" receive not only a pen, but also electronic components that allow you to quickly create the corresponding schemes on paper.
