WelcometotheDigitalSandbox!
TheDigitalSandboxisalearningplatformthatengagesboththesoftwareandhardwareworlds.It’s
poweredbyamicrocontrollerthatcaninteractwithrealworldinputs–likelightortemperaturesensors–
whileatthesametimecontrollingLEDs,motors,andotheroutputs.TheDigitalSandboxisequippedwith
everything,onboard,thatyouwillneedtocomplete13experimentsincludingcontrollinganLED,
measuringhowloudthingsare,detectingthetemperatureis,andmore.ThinkofthisasaSparkFun
Inventor’sKitallinoneboard!
ThistutorialwalksyouthroughaseriesofexperimentsthatdemonstratehowtoprogramtheDigital
SandboxusingArduBlock,agraphicalprogramminglanguageforArduino.
Ifyou’reinterestedinprogrammingyourSandboxusingtheregularArduinoprogramminglanguage,
checkoutourparalleltutorial:theDigitalSandboxArduinoCompanion.
