Pair this bundle of Propeller Activity Kit Parts with a Propeller Activity Board and programming cable (not included), and you will have all of the electronic components needed to complete the activities in the “What’s a Multicore Microcontroller?” text.
This parts kit includes a selection of input sensors, output devices, integrated circuits, and passive components for creating a wide variety of circuits on your Activity Board. Build your electronics skills and learn to use these common components with the circuit-building and C-language programming exercises included in the “What’s a Multicore Microcontroller” text.
Key Features:
- Build simple circuits with schematics and wiring diagrams
- Write programs in Propeller C to control the circuits
- Send signals by blinking LEDs
- Sense contact with pushbuttons
- Read a control knob using a potentiometer
- Measure light with a phototransistor
- Control motion with a servo motor
- Play tunes on a piezo speaker
- Play WAV files from a microSD Card
- Display data on a 7-segment LED
- Combine several of the above circuits to prototype an invention
Note: Propeller Activity Board WX (#32912) and USB A to Mini B programming cable (#805-00006) required; not included.
