I am receiving this week some 15 packs of Arduino starter kits. They include an arduino and a big collection of fun peripherals. Long time VHS people will have seen these boxes before. They include:
- Arduino
- usb cable
- seven segment display (1 char wide)
- seven segment display (4 char wide)
- 16x2 LCD
- 8x8 red LED screen
- console style joystick
- RFID reader/writer
- RFID card
- RFID fob
- sound sensor
- temp/humidity sensor
- speaker
- 9g servo
- small stepper motor & h bridge board
- water level sensor
- 1 large breadboard
- lots of precut wires in a rainbow colors
- more!
My first goal is to assist people exploring these fun building blocks and build a set of instructions that can be used in future classes.
My second goal is to show several members how to use RFID so we can integrate a system into the door locks and the membership database. Safety committee could even limit dangerous gear to card access.
I’d like to run the class January 31st, 2014 from 12:30 to 3:30. Internet and power would help a lot.
