$12.75 |
| Opto-Isolated 2-channel Relay Board: With high-current relay, AC250V 10A; DC30V 10A. More information about controlling power with relays Here: https://arduinoinfo.mywikis.net/wiki/ArduinoPower |
$3.50 | |
| 8CM Breadboard: Breadboard with power and Ground busses. This is used to make quick and easy and usually non-permanent connections between Arduino and different electronics components, chips, resistors, LEDs etc. |
$2.00 | |
| (5) Big push-button switches [Digital Input] These large 12mm pushbutton switches have a nice CLICK action. They plug into the Breadboard. |
$1.00 | |
| (2) 10K Potentiometers that fit breadboard well [Analog Input] These can plug into the breadboard and can be turned by hand. |
$0.85 | |
| (5) 10K PhotoResistors (Light sensors) [Analog Input] 'PhotoResistor type 5516 5-10K'. These are small Photoresistors that have a resistance of 10K ohms at 10 lux. |
$0.50 | |
| Digital temperature sensor DS18B20 [Digital Signal Input] "1-Wire" Digital Temperature sensor. This is an electronic thermometer which has high accuracy over a wide range (accurate to ±0.5°C over the range of -10°C to +85°C). You can locate these thermometer chips up to 100M away from your Arduino, over just 2 wires. |
$1.25 | |
| (10) LEDs of 5 different colors, + 220 ohm resistors [Digital or Analog Output] |

| Buzzer Module (makes sound with voltage applied) [Digital Output]. This small sound module can be driven by an Arduino output pin. When the pin is set to HIGH (with the - terminal of this module grounded) it puts out a constant buzz or beep. NOTE: the Long pin is + (Arduino Pin) NOTE: Price EACH at Generator |
$0.20 | |
| Beeper Module (Makes different sounds/tones with Arduino TONE Library) [Analog Output]. This small sound module can be driven by an Arduino output pin. The + pin is marked on the case. A pulse of current will make it click. A series of pulses will cause it to output a tone, and you can control the frequency. Both pins are the same length. NOTE: Price EACH at Generator |
$0.20 | |
|
|
Servo Motor (Mechanical positioning from digital pulses] [Digital Signal Output] The 3-pin connector plugs into the YourDuinoRobo1 connectors. Servo Black or Brown to Gnd. Servo Red or Orange (Center wire) to +5V. Servo White or Yellow to Signal |
$3.00 |
