Consider giving hints as to how to do it like adding a state variable and using 'do while' loops. Add a push button to control which light module is running. Add a potentiometer to control the delays. What is the fastest rate you can tell it is still blinking.

Use the serial print and serial monitor to see the numerical value of the delay (a great feature to debug).

Add another analogRead line to the code for a faster response to changes. Use the blink rate to make the LED appear steady, but dim. Experiment with controlling the different blink rates, try different on and off delays. Add a second LED/resistor combination to a different pin. I think this addition would "Spark" more learning and fun, otherwise it is too easy to just hook everything up and upload the code and not really learn much. If there is not enough room to print it in the project section of the book, consider referencing a modifications section (after the last project) or an Online Extras section on the website. To get five stars, my only suggestion for improving the SIK Guide is to include suggested modifications to challenge people to think about how to modify and build on what they have learned. The instructions in the guide are easy to follow and the comments in the sketches make following the programming easy too. The kit has everything you need to get started and all of the programs (sketches) are available online. I love to tinker and have some experience with electronics and programming. Soon, I'm going to order a long neopixel strip and cut it into eight-to-ten light segments, add connectors, signal wire resistor, and large capacitor (1000uf) to make them more kid-proof and go further with these kits! I've added a handful of PIR sensors, ultrasonic rangers, hall effect transistors, and infrared transistors to the classroom shared parts box. Otherwise, the 3.1 kits have been a real blast for the kids! We've explored discrete circuits as well as the Arduino controlled circuits. Any suggestions before I start soldering headers or hookup wire to them? We've also had a heck of a time getting the tactile buttons to stay in the breadboard, even after straightening the legs. It gets a little crowded to use the flex/softpot/etc while it's stuck in the breadboard. I eventually encouraged them to "loosen up" the points on the breadboard with a connector wire before putting in the resistor lead.Ĭonsider some female connecting wires as well, so you can put a little distance between some of the components and the board. My middle schoolers are fairly heavy handed, and their resistors are looking really sad after 9 weeks of use. I second the suggestion of going to 1/4 watt resistors. Version 3.2 of the kit adds a new Simon Says circuit experiment with all the LEDs and tactile buttons you will need to complete it, and a new full-color guidebook. The kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up.

Full example code is provided and explained and even includes troubleshooting tips if something goes wrong. The full-color SIK Guidebook (included) contains step by step instructions of how to connect each circuit with the included parts. You don't need any previous programming or electronics experience to use this kit. The SIK includes everything you need to complete 16 circuits that will teach you how to read sensors, display information on an LCD, drive motors, and more. The SparkFun Inventor's Kit (SIK) is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. If you are looking to purchase an SIK for the holidays be sure to head over to the SIK Special Edition page to pick one up! However, anyone who buys this special edition SIK will receive an carrying case, in a separate shipment at no cost to you, when we have cases again. This SIK will not have a the normal carrying case when you receive them, but instead one of our tried and true red boxes at a reduced price.

Therefore, we created the SIK Special Edition. Unfortunately, after we made the transition, we found our mold had begun to break and would need repair. As you may have seen from our blog post, we recently moved our injection mold for SIK cases over from China to Longmont, CO, in order to provide a quicker supply of cases when we are low on stock.
