Step 1: JoyStick
The JoyStick is a analog sensor that can be used to control your arduino.
Analog JoySticks are basically potentiometers, so they return values which can be made visible using the provided code in this step.

By clicking the serial monitor you will see the values. Once you move the JoyStick the values will change. This code is also handy if you want to control your Arduino
using a JoyStick.

File Downloads

JoyStick.ino (595 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'JoyStick.ino']
Step 2: Flame Sensor
These sensors are used for short range fire detection. They can be used for safety or to monitor projects.

File Downloads

Flame_Sensor.ino (847 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Flame_Sensor.ino']
Step 3: RGB LED
This LED contains light emitting diodes. A red one, a green one and a blue one. Combining those into one LED will give you a RGB LED. You can all different kind of
things with this LED.

File Downloads

RGB_LED.ino (694 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'RGB_LED.ino']
Step 4: Heartbeat Sensor
This sensor uses a bright IR LED (infrared) and a phototransistor to detect the pulse of the finger.
A red LED flashes each pulse.

File Downloads

Heartbeat_Sensor.ino (487 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Heartbeat_Sensor.ino']
Step 5: Light Cup
The Light Cup modules contain Mercury Switches that provide a digital signal. The LED's are dimmable.

To use this module you need at least two. (Ofcourse the kit includes 2)

 Light_Cup.ino (678 bytes)
[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Light_Cup.ino']
Step 6: Hall Magnetic Sensor
The Hall Magnetic Sensor is a magnetic switch. If no magnetic field is present, the signal line of the sensor is HIGH. If a magnetic field is presented to the sensor, the
signal line goes LOW, at the same time the LED on the sensor lights up. The polarity of the magnetic field is of influence to the switching action. The front side of the
sensor needs the opposite polarity as the back of the sensor to switch on.

File Downloads

Hall_Magnetic_Sensor.ino (577 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Hall_Magnetic_Sensor.ino']
Step 7: Relay
A relay is used to switch high voltage applications using a lower voltage. This is often used in houses as well since it's a safe option to switch on and off high voltages.

You apply a small voltage (5V) to one side of the relay and it will switch the other side on or off.

File Downloads

Relay.ino (327 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'Relay.ino']
Step 8: Linear Hall Sensor
This sensor produces a voltage when placed into a magnetic field. The voltage can be used to control your Arduino.

It is a analog sensor which means it can read out the value of the magnetic field.
