ServoSix

The SparkFun Inventor’s Kit (SIK) is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. The SIK includes everything you need to complete 16 circuits that will teach you how to read sensors, display information on an LCD, drive motors, and more. You don’t need any previous programming or electronics experience to use this kit. The full-color SIK Guidebook (included) contains step by step instructions of how to connect each circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided and explained and even includes troubleshooting tips if something goes wrong. The kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up. Version 3.2 of the kit adds a new Simon Says circuit experiment with all the LEDs and tactile buttons you will need to complete it, and a new full-color guidebook. Circuit Examples: Circuit 1: Blinking an LED Circuit 2: Reading a Potentiometer Circuit 3: Driving and RGB LED Circuit 4: Driving Multiple LEDs Circuit 5: Push Buttons Circuit 6: Reading a Photo Resistor Circuit 7: Reading a Temperature Sensor Circuit 8: Driving a Servo Motor Circuit 9: Using a Flex Sensor Circuit 10: Reading a Soft Potentiometer Circuit 11: Using a Buzzer Circuit 12: Driving a Motor Circuit 13: Using Relays Circuit 14: Using a Shift Register Circuit 15: Using an LCD Circuit 16: Simon Says Kit Includes:   SparkFun RedBoard Arduino and Breadboard Holder SparkFun Inventor’s Kit Guidebook White Solderless Breadboard Carrying Case SparkFun Mini Screwdriver 16x2 White on Black LCD (with headers) 74HC595 Shift Register 2N2222 Transistors 1N4148 Diodes DC Motor with Gear Small Servo SPDT 5V Relay TMP36 Temp Sensor Flex sensor Softpot 6' SparkFun USB Cable Jumper Wires Photocell Tri-color LED Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green LEDs Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green Tactile Buttons 10K Trimpot Piezo Speaker 330 and 10K Resistors Documents: SIK Guide Online Experiment Guide SIK Teaching Curriculum SIK Code Library Dimensional Drawing (Carrying Case) SIK V3.2 Wish List

This kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. You'll learn through building several creative projects. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components with a book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complex projects, the kit will help you control the physical world with sensor and actuators.  The projects in the kit are:      01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the concepts you'll need to use this kit 02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design to control panel for your startship 03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are 04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input 05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing 06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands 07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard 08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much 09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a color wheel that will have your head spinning 10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse 11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough question 12 KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door 13 TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch 14 TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino 15 HACKING BUTTONS   create a master control for all your devices!  Once you’ve mastered this knowledge, you’ll have a palette of software and circuits that you can use to create something beautiful, and make someone smile with what you invent.  The kit includes: 1 Arduino Projects Book (170 pages) 1 Arduino UNO board rev.3 1 USB cable 1 Breadboard 1 Easy-to-assemble wooden base 1 9v battery snap 70 Solid core jumper wires 2 Stranded jumper wires 6 Photoresistor 3 Potentiometer 10kilohm 10 Pushbuttons 1 Temperatursensor 1 Tilt sensor 1 LCD alphanumeric (16x2 characters) 1 LED (bright white) 1 LED (RGB) 8 LEDs (red) 8 LEDs (green) 8 LEDs (yellow) 3 LEDs (blue) 1 Small DC motor 6/9V 1 Small servo motor 1 Piezo capsule 1 H-bridge motor driver 2 Optocouplers 5 Transistor 2 Mosfet transistors 5 Capacitors 100nF 3 Capacitors 100uF 5 100pF capacitor 5 Diodes 3 Trasparent gels (red, green, blue) 1 Male pins strip (40x1) 20 Resistors 220 ohm 5 Resistors 560 ohm 5 Resistors 1 kilohm 5 Resistors 4.7 kilohm 10 Resistors 10 kilohm 5 Resistors 1 megohm 5 Resistors 10 megohm
