Parts
Senses acceleration in X, Y, and Z axes; used to detect motion and orientation.
an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current
Switches and isolates electrical devices
A 9V DC battery
Makes a high-pitched beeping sound when powered with a steady (direct current) power source.
A large, clicky button.
The Arduino gets instructions from a computer and follows them as long as it has power. It can be an input, output, or both.
Supplies power to a breadboard, available to be used by electronic components plugged into it.
Drives higher voltage LEDs with adjustable resistance and PWM dimming of connected LED
The motor spins when power flows through its wires. Output shaft can rotate continuously in either direction.
Allows electricity to flow through it in only one direction. Often used with DC motors to prevent reverse currents from damaging components.
Able to drive two motors both clockwise and counterclockwise
Makes an electrical connection between two protruding wires.
Also called an extension jumper, the female-male jumper wire makes an electrical connection between a protruding wire and a socket.
Receives motion instructions from the Arduino, and allows 2 motors to rotate both ways.
Larger LED that requires 9-10V power
Interprets infrared remote control signals.
Sends infrared light pulses that can be read by an Infrared Receiver.
Senses up/down and left/right movement of a thumb-sized joystick. Also can be clicked like a button.
Grid of sockets for developing electronic circuits and microcontroller projects, composed of conductive strips beneath the nonconductive cover
Senses distance by measuring time elapsed between sending a laser pulse and receiving its reflection
Displays rows of text
A springy snap-action button with a lever arm.
Illuminates when power flows through. It is a diode, so only allows power to flow in one direction.
Used to make an electrical connection between two sockets
Grid of sockets for developing electronic circuits and microcontroller projects, composed of conductive strips beneath the nonconductive cover
Measures distance
Vibrates quickly when powered. Usually used as a simple tactile signal. Operates at 5V.
Momentary push button for panel mounting
Makes variable-pitch beeping, driven by the frequency of a changing (alternating current) power source connected to it.
Detects motion (of bodies that emit infrared radiation, for example, humans)
Measures luminosity (light)
A rotating variable resistor (knob)
The Raspberry Pi Pico gets instructions from a computer and follows them as long as it has power. It can be an input, output, or both.
Converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals.
Motor that rotates to an absolute position
Has three inputs and eight outputs: allows the Arduino to control many outputs at once without as many pins as it would otherwise need.
Switch for toggling an electrical connection on and off
Grid of sockets for developing electronic circuits and microcontroller projects, composed of conductive strips beneath the nonconductive cover
Variable resistor that measures the amount of moisture in soil
Electrical connector to power motor and receive movement instructions from Arduino. Output shaft can rotate with motor continuously in either direction.
Receives motion instructions from the Arduino, and provides power to the Stepper Motor.
Makes an electrical connection when pressed.
Measures ambient temperature and humidity
Changes its electrical resistance based on its temperature: used as a thermometer.
A small metal ball rolls inside the can, and the electrical switch opens or closes based on its position. Detects coarse orientation.
An electrical switch that allows you to turn on and off high voltages and currents, using a small amount of electricity.
Measures distance
Provides a convenient, compact area for a breadboard circuit directly plugged in to the top of the Arduino Uno.
