Arduino Esplora A000095 Board

Product Description

Arduino Open-Source Single Board Computer Boards
- Arduino A000095, The Arduino Esplora is like the Arduino Leonardo but packed with sensors, buttons & other useful features already wired up. This leaves you to learn & experiment with the Arduino system without having to worry about electronics first. It is instantly obvious that it is laid out like a game controller with a two-axis analog joystick with central push-button, & 4x push-buttons in a diamond shape, but it has a lot more to offer. Whether you're a beginner buying your first board, an experienced user looking to do some lone coding, or want a good, portable development system for when you're on the move, then the Esplora is for you. The other inputs on the Esplora include: a linear slider potentiometer, microphone, light sensor, temperature sensor, & a three-axis accelerometer, built & tested & ready to go. The outputs include a buzzer, & a bright RGB LED. Along the top edge you'll find 2x Tinker Kit outputs & 2x Tinker Kit inputs giving you access to the growing range of Tinker Kit modules. In addition, the Esplora's built-in USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication enables it to appear as a mouse or keyboard to a connected computer, greatly enhancing the versatility of this Arduino device. The two central header strips are for a colour TFT LCD such as 73-4740, but any device that uses the SPI protocol could be used. Add a battery & you have a fully portable device, which is even better with the LCD. Use it on the move, with just your laptop or Arduino tablet (requires USB (Universal Serial Bus) OTG) for an uncluttered development/test system without the usual baggage of breadboards, wires etc.. The Esplora is supported out of the box by the Arduino IDE with A superbly comprehensive set of examples for beginners & experts. Esplora Beginner examples Esplora Blink: Blink the Esplora's RGB LED. Esplora Accelerometer: Read the values from the accelerometer. Esplora Joystick Mouse: Use the Esplora's joystick to control the cursor on your computer. Esplora Led Show: Use the Joystick & slider to create a light show with the LED. Esplora Led Show 2: Use the Esplora's microphone, linear potentiometer, & light sensor to change the color of the onboard LED. Esplora Light Calibrator: Read the values from the accelerometer. Esplora Music: Make some music with the Esplora. Esplora Sound Sensor: Read the values from the Esplora's microphone. Esplora Temperature Sensor: Read the temperature sensor & get the temperature in in Farhenheit or Celsius. Esplora Expert examples Esplora Kart: Use the Esplora as a controller to play a kart racing game. Esplora Table: Print the Esplora sensor information to a table format. Esplora Remote: Connect the Esplora to Processing & control the outputs. Esplora Pong: Play Pong with the Esplora using Processing. Arduino Esplora A000095 Board
