Datasheet
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 a SENSOR. The connector is an OUTPUT which must be connected to one of the
INPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

The Touch Sensor is sensitive to skin contact.
Output: This module normally outputs 0v, but when touched, sends 5v.
When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield,
you will see 0 when there is no touch, and 1023 when touched.
Module Description: on the back of the module you can find a signal
amplifier, a capacitor, a QT 100A single touch controller, a green LED
that signals that the module is correctly powered and a yellow LED
whose brightness depends on the values output by the module.
Please note this device performs an auto calibration when it is turned
on, so if someone is touching the switch surface when it is turned on it will not work. To reset,
cycle power and make sure no one is touching it as you restart.
This module is a SENSOR. The connector is an OUTPUT which must be connected to one of the
INPUT connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

A relay is an electrically operated switch that allows you to turn on
or off a circuit using voltage and/or current much higher than the
Arduino could handle. There is no connection between the low voltage
circuit operated by Arduino and the high power circuit. The relay protects
each circuit from each other.
Warning: We don't recommend you operate circuits powered at more
than 24V without the supervision of an expert.
Input: The relay is a simple mechanical on/off switch. It activates when
the input reaches 5v and turns off when the input is 0v. You can control
it though the digitalWrite() function on Arduino.
The module provides three connections labeled COM, NC and NO. NC stands for "NORMALLY
CLOSED". This means that when the relay has no signal (LOW or 0V from an Arduino), the
connected circuit wil be active; conversely, if you apply 5V or pull the pin HIGH, it will turn the
connected circuit off. NO stands for "NORMALLY OPEN", and functions in the opposite way; when
you apply 5V the circuit turns on, and at 0V the circuit turns off. Relays can replace a manual
switch. Remove the switch and connect its wires toCOM and NO. When the relay is activated the
circuit is closed and current can flow to the device you are controlling.
Module Description: this module features an 250v 10A mounted on a 2 module TinkerKit board,
one standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, one transistor, a green LED that signals that the module is
correctly powered and an yellow LED that indicates when the relay is active.
