1. Adafruit ARDX v1.3 Experimentation Kit for Arduino Uno R3
Adafruit is currently shipping R3 of the Arduino Uno.
Interested in making neat stuff with an Arduino but not sure where to start? This kit includes all the pieces needed to complete 11 different circuits, along with an experimenter's guide booklet and breadboard layout sheets. Basically, everything you need to be playing within minutes of its arrival. No soldering required!
Includes the Thru-hole (THM) type Arduino Uno R3. The new Uno is the latest version after the Duemilanove, with an improved USB interface chip. Like the Duemilanove, it not only has an expanded shield header with a 3.3V reference and a RESET pin (which solves the problem of how to get to the RESET pin in a shield) and a 500mA fuse to protect your computer's USB port, but also an automatic circuit to select USB or DC power without a jumper! The Uno is pin and code-compatible with the Duemilanove, Diecimilla, and older Arduinos, so all your shields, libraries, and code will still work. The new R3 (3rd revision) of the Uno has a few minor updates, with an upgrade to the USB interface chip and additional breakouts for the I2C pins and an IORef pin.
Features:
- 13 circuits to explore microcontroller basics, covering LEDs, transistors, motors, integrated circuits, pushbuttons, variable resistors, photo resistors, temperature sensors, and relays.
- Comes with an Arduino Uno prototyping bundle to make constructing your circuits and future projects easy.
- Printed copy of the Arduino Experimenter's Guide means no need to flip between on-screen windows.
- Each circuit includes a layout sheet, eliminating guesswork when it comes to component placement.
- Fully open source, meaning you can download and print additional circuit sheets, or download the component files and make your own circuits.
2. Adafruit 1643 Extension module 1 pc.
The NeoPixel ring features 12 ultra-bright Smart LEDs arranged in a ring with an outer diameter of 37 mm. The rings can be chained together, allowing each individual LED to be controlled by just a single microcontroller pin, as each LED can be addressed individually through its internal driver chip. Each LED has a current driver for a constant 18 mA, ensuring very uniform colors even with varying voltage. This design is powered by 5 V DC and is compact, as no external ballast resistors are required.
3. Adafruit 1897 Evaluation Board 1 pc.
Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) is very similar to dynamic RAM, but features a ferroelectric layer instead of a dielectric one. The SPI-FRAM breakout board is excellent for low-power applications or applications with unstable power supply, as well as for logging or buffering data. This FRAM chip has 8 kBytes of memory and an SPI interface with a clock frequency of up to 20 MHz. Like SRAM, each byte can be read and written immediately 10 trillion times, and the memory lasts for 95 years at room temperature. This chip can operate with a supply and logic voltage of 3 V or 5 V. The memory is designed to be breadboard-friendly with a 2.54 mm pitch for soldering a pin header.
4. Adafruit METRO ATMEGA328 DEV BRD,2488
Ideal for most automotive and industrial applications, such as cutting textiles, upholstery, headliners, carpets, rubber, plastic, and cardboard. Knife with hook blade and 2-component handle for better grip. Resistant to most solvents. Can be sharpened with a wet sharpening stone. Durable, curved stainless steel blade. Easy to clean and resistant to most solvents. Retail packaged.
5. Adafruit Guva-S12sd
It uses a UV photodiode that can detect the light range of 240-370 nm, covering the UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. This sensor is much simpler than the Si1145 breakout sensor, as it has only one function and provides an analog voltage output, rather than requiring a complicated I2C setup procedure. This makes it better suited for simple projects. It also features a true UV sensor instead of a calibrated light sensor. The power supply for the sensor and the operational amplifier is connected by linking V+ to 2.7-5.5 VDC and GND to ground. You then read the analog signal at the OUT pin. The output voltage is 4.3 V at a diode current in µA. When the photocurrent is 1 µA (9 mW/cm²), the output voltage is 4.3 V. You can also convert the voltage into the UV index by dividing the output voltage by 0.1 V. If the output voltage is 0.5 V, the UV index is approximately 5.
6. Adafruit 1895 Evaluation Board 1 pc.
Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) is very similar to dynamic RAM, but with a ferroelectric layer instead of a dielectric one. The I²C FRAM breakout board is excellent for low-power applications or applications with unstable power supply for data logging or buffering. This FRAM chip features 32 kByte of memory and I²C interfaces with a clock frequency of up to 1 MHz. Like SRAM, each byte can be read and written immediately 10 trillion times and retains the memory for 95 years at room temperature. This chip can operate with a supply voltage and logic voltage of 3 V or 5 V. The memory is designed to be breadboard-friendly with a 2.54 mm pitch for soldering a pin header.
7. Adafruit Huzzah IOT
You are ready to build something cool and internet-connected. All you need is this starter kit, which provides you with many components that fit well with the service and are the most common sensors and actuators you could wish for. Detect light, motion, humidity, temperature, and more, and then send it for storage on Adafruit. Let LEDs light up, make sounds, and move a motor when a trigger is detected.
This package is designed for individuals who want to use the new Adafruit Feather Huzzah with the ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller and feel comfortable exploring the IoT with this platform. A Feather Huzzah development board is included. An Arduino or another microcontroller is not required.
This package does not include a standard USB Micro-B cable (you can use any cable you have, as long as it supports both data transfer and charging, not 'charging only'), a breadboard, or a LiPo battery (take your project on the go!). You will need a USB cable for programming and debugging your Huzzah; either USB or a LiPo battery to power the Feather Huzzah. You might also want a full-size breadboard and some jumper wires. Some soldering is required to assemble the Feather Huzzah ESP8266 and the HDC1008 sensor.
This package includes:
- Adafruit Feather Huzzah with ESP8266 WiFi
- Quick vibration sensor switch (easy to trigger)
- DHT22 temperature sensor
