Description of DFRobot Gravity StarterKit with DFRduino Uno
Starter set introducing the world of Arduino programming. It allows for the construction of more than a dozen of projects using Arduino and i.a.: servos, LEDs, distance and sound sensor, buzzer and many other elements. Set gives knowledge and develops creativity.
The contents of the kit Gravity IoT.
Illustrated instructions
The manufacturer provides a detaileduser's guidein the .pdf, which helps you install the software, learn to write sketches (Arduino Sketch, and include 8 projects that use sensors which are included in the package). Illustrated guide, perfect for beginners.
The projects contained in the file, are as follows:
- Make an LED blink: flashing led
- Sensor Light: LED is on when motion is detected
- Mini-Lights: a simple light
- Sound Activated LED: Enabling the LED through clapping
- Fading LED: a simple PWM control
- Light Regulator: change of the brightness of LED using potentiometer
- Open Sesame!: Service of the servo
- Pandora's Box: a box that is sensitive to the brightness of the environment, as well as the opening and turning on the internal LED when is dark on the outside.

Set includesDFRduino Uno board, compatible withArduino Uno, which can be programmed using the freeArduino IDE environment. |
Each of these projects introduces the user further into the world of Arduino. Projects are very detailed. They all begin with identifying the required elements. The description alone, provides the wiring diagrams and programme code, and exact description, which part is responsible for what.
