TinkerKit - BASIC

Code: K000001

The Basic Kit is a pack of different TinkerKit Modules, aimed to start designing interactive

enviroments / prototype interfaces without using the breadboard or the soldering iron.

The Basic Kit consists in the Sensor Shield V.2, 7 different Sensors and 5 Actuators, some

cables.

Shield - TinkerKit Sensor Shield V.2

Code: T020010

The Sensor Shield v.2 allows you to hook up the TinkerKit SENSORS and ACTUATORS directly

to the Arduino, without the use of the breadboard.

It has 12 standard TinkeKit 3pin connectors. The 6 labeled I0

through I5 are Analog Inputs. The ones labeled O0 through

O5 are Analog Outputs connected to the PWM capable

outputs of the Arduino Board (it is possible to change these to

Digital Inputs, in which case they will report either HIGH or

LOW, but nothing in between).

On a Standard Arduino DuemilaNove board the pins are:

Pin 11 on the Arduino is O0 on the shield.

Pin 10 on the Arduino is O1 on the shield.

Pin 9 on the Arduino is O2 on the shield.

Pin 6 on the Arduino is O3 on the shield.

Pin 5 on the Arduino is O4 on the shield.

Pin 3 on the Arduino is O5 on the shield.

Module description: A green LED signals that the shield is correctly powered, a standard 6mm

pushbutton allows you to RESET the board.

The 4pin TWI socket allows communication to any device supporting the I2C protocol through the

Wire library on Arduino. 5V and Ground are provided on the socket. Note that on Arduino the I2C

bus uses Analog Input 4 and 5, using the TWI connection precludes the use of those analog inputs.

The 4pin SERIAL socket allows the board to communicate with other devices that support serial communication. 5V and Ground are provided on the socket for your convenience. Note: If you’re sending or receiving data to and from the computer this serial connector is not available. Two mounting holes are provided in the same position found on the Arduino board. A third hole allows you to see the led connected to pin 13 of the Arduino.

can expect to read a value of 1023 when in its upright position and 0 when it is titled. Module description: this module features a Tilt Sensor, a signal amplifier, the standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered and a yellow LED that lights up when a connection is made (the sensor is upright). This module is a SENSOR. The connector is an OUTPUT which must be connected to one of the INPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

Output: This module outputs 5v when the slider is at one end and 0v when moved in the opposite way. When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can expect to read values going from 0 to 1023. Module Description: this module features a 4k7 Ohm linear potentiometer, a signal amplifier, the standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered and a yellow LED whose brightness changes according to the position of the potentiometer.

This module is an ACTUATOR. The connector is an INPUT which must be connected to one of the OUTPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield. _____________________________________________________________________________ The LED is possibly the simplest actuator available. It’s a low power light source available in many colors. It lights up when powered from an Arduino pin. Input: Arduino provides a maximum of 40 mA per pin; this is enough to light up the LED through the digitalWrite() and analogWrite() functions.
