Description
Get started with microcontroller based electronics
This Arduino-compatible bundle contains the Motherboard, Digitiser, Sensor Array and RGB Matrix. With these 4 boards you have everything you need to build a clock, score counter, timer, task reminder, thermometer, humidity display, sound meter, light meter, clap trigger, colored bar graph display, animated alarm, and much more!
- The Motherboard has a built in real time clock module that keeps time even when unplugged.
- The Digitiser can display 4 digits or characters and includes 2 buttons and a potentiometer to let you control what’s being displayed, or the brightness of the display.
- The Sensor Array can read temperature, relative humidity, sound and light, with an SD card slot for data recording.
- The RGB Matrix has 16 RGB LEDs that are controlled through shift registers, so only use 3 or 4 pins of the Motherboard.
Motherboard
The Motherboard is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller breakout board designed around the ATmega328P. The board comes in a solder-it-yourself kit with all the components you need to get started with microcontroller based electronics. All other boards connect to this.
- Based on the ATmega328P
- Arduino compatible
- On-Board RTC (Real Time Clock)
- FTDI Header for easy programming
- Bluetooth Header
- Terminal Block Connections
Digitiser
The Digitiser is a versatile display and input board. It let’s you visualise your data. Show your sensor information, clock digits, or even keep score for your favourite card game. The Digitiser also includes some buttons and a knob to let you take control.
- 4x 7-Segment Displays
- Uses 595 Shift Registers
- 2 Switches and a Potentiometer
- 4 colored 'Mode' LEDs
- Chainable with other 595 Boards
- Terminal Block Connections
Sensor Array
As the name suggests, the Sensor Array is an array of sensors. Measure temperature and relative humidity via the DHT11, light via the light dependant resistor, and sound via the microphone and amplifier circuit. Then you can log the data using the on-board SD card slot.
- DHT11 Temp & Humidity Sensor
- Microphone and Amplifier Circuit
- Light Dependent Resistor
- MicroSD Slot for Saving Data
- Logic Level Converter Circuit
- Terminal Block Connections
RGB Matrix
Add color to your project by controlling 16 red, 16 green and 16 blue LEDs with just 3 pins of your microcontroller. The RGB Matrix uses shift registers, a matrix and switching transistors, so there’s plenty to learn and explore.
- 4x4 (16) RGB LEDs
- Uses 595 Shift Registers
- Chainable with other 595 Boards
- Transistor Switches
- Terminal Block Connections
