Datasheet
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.

The Pushbutton Module is possibly the simplest sensor available. It
detects when a person or an object presses on its circular cap.
Output:This module outputs 5v when the button is pressed and 0v
when released. Pressing the button closes the circuit. When connected
to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can expect a
value of 1023 while the button is pressed and 0 when released.
Module Description: This module features a 12mm pushbutton , the
standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, a green LED that signals that the
module is correctly powered and a yellow LED that is lit only when the
button is pressed.
This module is a SENSOR. The connector is an OUTPUT which must
be connected to one of the INPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield

LDR (or Light Dependant Resistor, or Photoresistor) is a variable resistor.
Light falling on the sensor decreases its resistance.
Output: This module outputs 5v when the sensor receives no light (the circuit
is open) and 0v when exposed to bright light (the circuit is closed). When
connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can
expect to read values from 0 to 1023.
Module Description: This module features a Light Dependent Resistor, 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 amount of lightness.
This module is a SENSOR. The connector is an OUTPUT which must be
connected to one of the INPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

The Tilt Sensor can detect when it is at an angle.
Output: This module contains two contacts and a small metal ball. When the
sensor is in its upright position, the ball bridges the two contacts, completing
the circuit. When the board is tilted, the ball moves, and the circuit opens.
When upright, the module outputs 5V and when it is tilted, it outputs 0V.
When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you
