    • Electronics

    Each team was given an electronics kit for the development of their puppet. Each team could make use of some or all of the sensors provided depending on their puppet design. The tech kit includes:

    • 1 arduino board
    • 1 Xbee RF module for communication
    • 2 bend sensors
    • 2 accelerometer boards
    • 2 potentiometers
    • 1 force sensitive resistor
    • 1 switch (for power on/off)
    • 1 battery holder
    • 4 BlinkM smart LEDs (e.g. for RGB output/display)
    • 10 LEDs (e.g. indicator lights)
    • 1 solderless prototyping board (for prototyping the circuits)
    • 1 soldered breadboard (for the final circuit)

     

    The gangster and cat puppets made excellent use of the BlinkM smart LED's
