Hackster

Learn. Build. Share.

This kit has been created in partnership with Hackster.io. It includes parts that will allow you to build several fun projects and help you follow along with Hackster's learning tracks. Start learning how to build today and share your ideas and projects here on the element14 Community.

What can I build with this kit?

Make LEDs blink (the “hello world” of hardware projects)

Control a hobby motor

Compare sensor values from two very different light sensors

Experiment with switches and push buttons

Learn how a digital clock works using a seven segment display

Build basic prototypes with the breadboard and jumper wires

What do I receive in my kit?

Breadboard (1)

This breadboard comes with red and blue lines indicating continuity along the sides, and letters and numbers to help you remember where your parts should go if you have to disassemble your breadboard (they can also be used to play ‘circuit battleship’).

Seven Segment Display (1)

This is a single seven segment display, like the kind used in a digital clock. It has a forward voltage of 20amps, and a forward current of 1.7V.

Hobby Motor (1)

This toy hobby motor has a wider operating range than most toy hobby motors: from 4.5 to 9V DC. You can use it directly from an arduino.

Trimmer Potentiometer (1)

This trimmer potentiometer’s resistance values vary from 10ohm to 2Mohm and has a power rating of 0.5watts.

Tactile Switch (1)

This tactile switch, or push button, has an SPST (single pole, single throw) configuration and operates at 24Volts and 50mA.

DIP Switch (1)

This DIP switch is SPST (single pole single throw), with a switching capacity of 25mA at 2V DC. DIP switches are used mostly in industrial control, computers and a variety of function controls.

Jumper Wires (10)

No breadboard would be complete without jumper wires! Here are 10 of them to get you started.

LEDs (1)

These LEDs, or light emitting diodes, have a forward voltage of 2 volts, a forward current of 20mA, and a 635nm wavelength.
