Arduino basic I/O learning shield
Jesus Echavarria, an electronic designer from Spain, has informed us about his K4S Keyboard project, which is a basic I/O shield specially designed for learning Arduino Programming using the Scratch for Arduino (S4A) platform. S4A is a modified version of the MIT’s Scratch Project and supports interactive Arduino programming through drag and place blocks.
The design of K4S board is simple and contains three 10mm LEDs, three tact switches, one potentiometer, and one Piezo buzzer. It can be used for educating kids the basics of Arduino programming using S4A. Experiments that can be done with this shield include basic digital input and output, analog sensing, light dimmer using PWM, and generating sound.
