Experimenters hardware

thetechnobear

Hi,

Is there a list/specification of the components included in the DBox/Experimenters kit?

I didn't buy (regrettably now) as I had many of the components, but have realised I'm now a bit confused what to order for sensors etc, in particular : FSRs, LDRs , Piezos ... and any other interesting sensors for interaction
(the capacitive touch and accelerometer details can be found in the examples on the wiki)

I recognise probably you can use various sizes/resistance, but its a little unclear to me (not having done any of this before) , the basic specification I'm looking for.
I guess, Id like to work through examples for the experimenter kit/dbox, to build up some initial confidence in this area.

thoughts/suggestions?
thanks
Mark

note: Ive got leds, resistors, capacitors, switches, potentiometers... its just sensors, which I think is where the fun is 🙂

(edit: apologies in advance if the d-box/experimenters component list was detailed somewhere, I did look, but couldn't find)

Hello,

Here's a list of components and sensors included with the experimenter kit:

2 potentiometers
LEDs (Green, red, yellow), 2 of each
RGB LED, 1
tactile buttons, 2
resistors (5x10k, 10x220R)
piezo discs, 2
LDR, 1
3 axis accelerometer, 1
Breadboard
Jumper cables
Barrel cable for powering from an external battery (necessary if you want to attach speakers)
FSR
8Ω speaker

Hope this helps! 🙂
Astrid.

To add some links to that:
- FSRs
- LDRs
- piezos

And here's a suitable accelerometer.

thanks all, going to think about a format for a control interface, then prep my order 🙂
