Descriptions
Brand New A000095 Arduino Esplora Microcontroller Development Board.
The Arduino Esplora is a microcontroller board derived from the Arduino Leonardo. The Esplora differs from all preceding Arduino boards in that it provides a number of built-in, ready-to-use set of onboard sensors for interaction. It's designed for people who want to get up and running with Arduino without having to learn about the electronics first.
The Esplora has onboard sound and light outputs, and several input sensors, including a joystick, a slider, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, a microphone, and a light sensor. It also has the potential to expand its capabilities with two Tinkerkit input and output connectors, and a socket for a color TFT LCD screen.
Like the Leonardo board, the Esplora uses an Atmega32U4 AVR microcontroller with 16 MHz crystal oscillator and a micro USB connection capable of acting as a USB client device, like a mouse or a keyboard.
In the upper left corner of the board there is a reset pushbutton, that you can use to restart the board. There are four status LEDS:
ON [green] indicates whether the board is receiving power supply
L [yellow] connected directly to the microcontroller, accessible through pin 13
RX and TX [yellow] indicates the data being transmitted or received over the USB communication
The board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable to get started.
The Esplora has built-in USB communication; it can appear to a connected computer as a mouse or keyboard, in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial / COM port.
Features
Analog joystick
with central push-button two axis (X and Y) and a center pushbutton.
4 push-buttons
laid out in a diamond pattern.
Linear potentiometer
slider near the bottom of the board.
Microphone
for getting the loudness (amplitude) of the surrounding environment.
Light sensor
for getting the brightness.
Temperature sensor
reads the ambient temperature
Three-axis accelerometer
measures the board's relation to gravity on three axes (X, Y, and Z)
Buzzer
can produce square-waves.
RGB led bright
LED with Red Green and Blue elements for color mixing.
2 TinkerKit Inputs
to connect the TinkerKit sensor modules with the 3-pin connectors.
2 TinkerKit Outputs
to connect the TinkerKit actuator modules with the 3-pin connectors.
TFT display connector
for an optional color LCD screen, SD card, or other devices that use the SPI protocol.
