BE maker kit









Description of the content of the BE MAKER KIT

  • 400 tie point solderless breadboard
    The 400 Tie Point Interlocking Solderless Breadboard is a cute half size breadboard, good for small projects. It is 8.2cm x 5.4cm in size with a standard double-strip in the middle and two power rails on both sides.
  • Jumper wires
    The kit includes two sets of Jumper Wires: Breadboard jumper wire 65 pcs pack. Including 4 different lengths:200mm,165mm,125mm and 80mm. Perfectly design for the solderless breadboard. Comes with M/M connectors. Plus a set of Jumper Wires 9" F/F (10 Pack). These are 9"(23cm) long jumper wires terminated as female to female. Use these to jumper from any male header on any board such as the IO Shield's. Multiple jumpers can be connected next to one another on a 0.1" header.
  • 9V snap connector
    This cable is terminated on one side with a standard 5.5x2.1mm, center-positive barrel jack, while a connector for 9V batteries is on the other side. Use this cable to battery-power any device that needs 9V power, it is perfect to power up the BE BOARD.
  • 4xAA battery holder
    This battery holder is perfect as it can host 4xAA 1.5V batteries and is terminated with a 9V snap connector compatible plug. This can be used to easily power up your projects on the go.
  • 16x2 LCD
    Standard 16x2 character LCD display. It has a basic 16 character by 2 line display with a yellow-green background with black characters.
  • Small servo
    This is a very small but powerful servo; it only weights 9 gram and gives you a 1.6kg.cm torque. Pretty strong relative to its size.
  • Small DC motor
    This is a small hobby/toy motor that can operate in a range between 3 and 6V and is perfect for learning how to add movement to your projects
  • 5V relay
    This is a standard and small relay that can be used to control lighting, electrical and other equipment.
  • Photoresistor
    The photoresistor, or photocell, changes resistance depending on the amount of light it is exposed to. These little sensors can be used in light-interacting projects. 
  • TMP36 Temp Sensor
    The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensor. It provides a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature. It also doesn't require any external calibration to provide typical accuracies of ±1°C at +25°C and ±2°C over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range. 
  • 74HC595 Shift Register
    This chip has eight outputs and three inputs that you use to feed data into, a bit at a time. So It allows you to control 8 devices (for example LEDs) using only 3 pins of the BE BOARD.
  • NPN Transistors
    The kit includes a set of 2N2222 NPN signal transistors. Rated at up to 600mA and 40V; these transistors are perfect to add power to many of your projects and can also be used to drive small motors or even a set of LEDs, like the RGB Strip that is also part of the kit.
  • Diodes
    The kit includes two kind of diodes, ten each: 1N4148 small but fast diodes and 1N4007, capable of high voltages and currents.
  • Piezo Buzzer
    Projects will get noisy. The buzzer can be used to generate simple tones directly from the BE BOARD.
  • Potentiometer 10K
    The Trimpot or variable resistor. This 10K trimmable potentiometer has a small knob built right in and it's breadboard friendly.
  • Pushbutton
    Miniature Single Pole Single Throw switches. These are high quality momentary on switches. Perfect for many projects, mounts directly into a standard solderless breadboard. Rated up to 50mA.
  • RGB LED
    These 5mm units have four pins - Cathode is the longest pin. One for each color and a common cathode. Use this one LED for three status indicators or pulse width modulate (PWM) all three and get mixed colors!
  • LEDs
    5mm LEDs in the colors RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE and WHITE. The BE MAKER KIT carries 60 of them!
  • Resistors
    300 resistors! 50 each of the values 330R, 1K and 10K plus 10 each of these other values: 100R, 220R, 470R, 560R, 820R, 2.2K, 4.7K, 8.2K, 12K, 15K, 22K, 47K, 100K, 1M, 10M. All that you will need for dozens of projects.
  • Capacitors
    In the kit there is space for a pack of 100 ceramic capacitors with mixed values, including: 10pF, 1nF, 10nF, 100nF, 1µF, 10µF
  • Male pins strip 40x1
    Sometimes you want to connect devices directly to the breadboard, or to the female headers on your BE BOARD, like Servos, LED Strips, etc. and most of them have female headers. These male-male headers will make your day easier!
  • Speaker
    A small speaker ideal for audio projects, with an impedance of 8 ohm, it is rated at a ½ Watt of power. It will be easy and fun to create noisy projects with this speaker and few other components, all part of the kit.
  • Microphone
    Enter your home and clap your hands and the lights will turn on, magically. This is one of the many tricks that can be performed using a microphone, together with your BE BOARD.
  • RGB LED Strip
    Strips of multicolor LEDs are cool. You can have a lot of fun with these and the BE MAKER KIT is the only kit around to offer a 1m (3.3ft) long RGB LED Strip, loaded with 60 super bright 5050 RGB LEDs. This is probably the funniest component of the KIT and can be connected directly to the BE SHIELD and controlled from Internet!
