Sound Sensor Treasure Map Tutorial
This tutorial shows you how to use the SOUND sensor circuit sticker to make an LED turn on – in this case, blowing on a secret symbol in the treasure map reveals the location of the treasure! How does it work? The SOUND sensor sticker has a tiny microphone on it. When you make a […]
Circuit Calavera and Calacas
October is a month of many holidays and raising awareness and though Halloween is one of the most well recognized holidays of the month, there is another following that is well celebrated across Latin America and the United States. When Halloween starts to come to a close the Mexican holiday El DĂa de los Muertos, […]
Microcontroller Sticker Intro Tutorial
The microcontroller sticker is preprogrammed as a touch sensor with a variety of functions. Similar to the trigger sticker, you can trigger the touch sensor by simultaneously touching the sensor trace and the “-” trace. You can also clip conductive materials to these pads, like in the Makeymakey, and create your own touch sensor interfaces […]
Trigger (Timer) Sensor Tutorial
Use the trigger sensor sticker to turn your LEDs on or off for approximately three seconds when triggered. The trigger sensor sticker has four pads: + and – for power, a signal pad, and a sensing pad. To trigger this sticker simultaneously touch the sensor trace and the – trace. This will cause the voltage on the signal pad to briefly […]
Sound Sensor Tutorial
Use the sound sensor sticker to control the brightness of your LEDs with sound. You can tap, yell, or blow into the sound sensor sticker to make the LEDs glow brighter. The light sensor sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad. The sticker also contains a small microphone that allows it […]
Light Sensor Tutorial
Use the light sensor sticker to control the brightness of your LEDs with the light sensor. The light sensor sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The more light the sticker is exposed to, the higher the voltage on the signal, which causes the lights to become brighter […]
Effects Sticker Tutorial
Use the effect stickers to make your LEDs shine different patterns, depending on which sticker you choose: blink on and off, fade in and out, pulse in a heartbeat and twinkle like a star. The effect sticker has three pads: + and – for power and a signal pad that generates the pattern. The signal […]
