The The specified item was not found.Esplora is a microcontroller board derived from the The specified item was not found. Leonardo. The Esplora differs from all preceding Arduino boards in that it provides a number of built-in, ready-to-use setof onboard sensors for interaction. It's designed for people who want to get up and running with Arduino without having to learn about the electronics first. For a step-by-step introduction to the Esplora, check out the Getting Started with Esplora guide.
The Esplora has onboard sound and light outputs, and several input sensors, including a joystick, a slider, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, a microphone, and a light sensor. It also has the potential to expand its capabilities with two Tinkerkit input and output connectors, and a socket for a color TFT LCD screen. Like the Leonardo board, the Esplora uses an Atmega32U4 AVR microcontroller with 16 MHz crystal oscillator and a micro USB connection capable of acting as a USB client device, like a mouse or a keyboard.
In the upper left corner of the board there is a reset pushbutton, that you can use to restart the board. There are four status LEDS:
ON [green] indicates whether the board is receiving power supply
L [yellow] connected directly to the microcontroller, accessible through pin 13
RX and TX [yellow] indicates the data being transmitted or received over the USB communication
The board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable to get started.
The Esplora has built-in USB communication; it can appear to a connected computer as a mouse or keyboard, in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port.
Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
Again, many thanks for your applications - there were more intriguing uses for this particular kit than we could have imagined. As ever, it's difficult to narrow it down to just a few testers, but after careful consideration, we have picked the following three:
Sufian K A
Matthew Skinner
Sharon Van Volkingburgh
Thanks again and we look forward to your applications on other RoadTests.
i could not find it on the arduino website. thats the reason i said that. an i relized christain was the owner of the post after i said that. by mistake
Christian is just the owner of this RoadTest post, as he work for E14. He isn't the person who actaully made the poduct. Also, this board is on the Arduino site and can be directly purchased from the Arduino store, so I'm pretty sue it is from Arduino.
