User questions & answers

Question:	Don't have and iPod or an MP3 player can you still have music
Answer:	I used my cell phone which is an android (blu brand) and it worked although the volume was really low. I think it would work better with an ipod or mp3 player meant to play music.
Question:	I do not have an ipod or an MP3 player but do have a samsung galaxy 4...would the mp3 light feature work with my phone? please let me know
Answer:	It came with an auxiliary cord so it should work from the music on your phone. My son said that when plugging that cord into your phone it produces the music through a speaker that came with it, but it is very quiet. However, it does make the lights flash to the music. He said that playing the music into the microphone allows you to hear the music better.
Question:	My son broke the flying disc, where would I purchase another? Do they sell replacement parts
Answer:	Some replacement parts are available on eBay, and you might also search the dollar stores. Try to see if your little scientist or you can make one using a round margarine container lid.
Question:	Which is better set, the light exploration kit or the arcade kit that sells for a little less on Amazon
Answer:	Hello- So much depends on interest. The Light is one of the top selling Snap Circuits but doesnt have the coding/programming component that Arcade has. Both are great kits.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does frustration free packaging mean
Answer:	this link describes their "frustration free packaging" http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node=5521637011&ref=spks_0_0_1883747602&qid=1447197646&pf_rd_p=1883747602&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_s=desktop-auto-sparkle&pf_rd_r=0AMG66EK04ETDPFX0WM3&pf_rd_i=frustration+free+packaging
Question:	Can the pieces be taken apart to build something new or can you only build just one project
Answer:	Yes, they snap together and can easily be taken apart (assuming they aren't excessively abused)
Question:	Does the SC-300 come with the red fan and motor that is shown in the 100 kit?? Thank you in advance
Answer:	yes! My two 8 year old grandboys, gravitated to this kit and both became competent with 24 hours. The experimented and created their own complex circuitry. They even 'invented' some unlikely ways to use the components. For example, the red fan blade became a helicopter blade that whirled off the motor and across the room. With a little organizational control and introduction from an organized adult, they followed the rules and quickly adapted to taking turns and encouraging each other. I was very surprised and pleased by the way they accepted the challenges and commanded the concept of using and controlling the flow of e- to do work.
Question:	Would a 9 year old girl like this
Answer:	My 9 year old daughter got the 40 project one for a birthday present and wasn't excited. Then on a rainy day she took it out and did all 40 and was so excited! Now she wants this set.

User questions & answers

Question:	The 48 page manual wasn't included. How can a get one
Answer:	We're not positive but we doubt it. My son said that he's wired things incorrectly before and had to go back and move wires around to make the circuit work. I'm guessing that since it's a kid's toy, they probably have some safeguards in place to prevent shocks and that those safeguards would probably protect the equipment itself too.
Question:	do you need to hook this up to a computer
Answer:	They are almost all simple GPIO sequences and/or triggered functions. 1-6 are dedicated inputs, 7-12 are dedicated outputs, 13-14 are connected to a digital to analog converter and have been dedicated to sound. This DAC is in the chip. A-H from the program bridge. This is potentially the tricky part as multiple jumpers can be used at the same time. You must jump at least two together to do anything. As of yet I do not know if data is transmitted along these jumpers or if the hold a constant signal. Something else interesting about them, they are paired A = B, C = D, E = F, G = H. The processor package appears to be a QFN-44 and it is not equipped with internal pull-up or pull down resistors. The lack of capacitors on the inputs says they are either internal or there is a PIC or the like in the chip. My guess is that this is an 8051 processor by Nuvoton. If you know MPU or GPIO programming you should be able to make a fuzzer and figure it out quickly. If not it should be easy enough to map with a logic probe and an oscilloscope.
Question:	Can this be broken by wiring it improperly? Like touching DC + to
Answer:	No. If you daisy chain them (usb-c to first ande then Display port from first to second monitor) you get the same image in both monitors. I got two monitors to display different desktops by using 2 usb-C cables, each connected to a usb-C port on the macbook pro. That way you can get up to 3 desktops (MBP display and 2 external monitors)
Question:	Does anyone know if there is any documentation of the microprocessor programs, inputs, and outputs
Answer:	Yes, you can use another source for picture in picture mode. For further details, please look on page 50 of the user guide below: http://www.viewsonicglobal.com/public/products_download/user_guide/Display/VP2771/VP2771_UG_ENG.pdf?pass

Compatibility with Official Arduino IDE, Software, Sendsors and Codes

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

For the reason of open source, the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone is permitted. Arduino boards are available commercially in preassembled form, or as do-it-yourself (DIY) kits.

Elegoo is one of the manufacturer on the market, whose clone products are compatible with the official Arduinomicrocontroller boards, they can use the official Arduino software, sensors and codes.

Learn Electronics and Programming with ELEGOO

The UNO boards can be used as the brains behind almost any electronics project. UNO can interact with buttons, LEDs, motors, speakers, GPS units, cameras, the internet, and even your smart-phone or your TV! By connecting the UNO board with a personal computer via a USB cable and uploading programs to the board, users can create digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical and digital world like robots or even honest fortune-telling machines.

For this Elegoo Super Starter Kit, we provide a 24-lesson tutorial, introducing the basic setting of the software IDE, the working principles of the sensors and the simple program to enable the UNO board to control the sensors.

This Kit is suitable for 10-year-old and up. Younger kids should be under supervision and guidance of adults.

74HC595 and LEDs

74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs (perfect) and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time.

This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it.

74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip.

4 digit 7 segment display

7 segment displays consist of 7 LEDs, called segments, arranged in the shape of an “8”. Most 7-segment displays actually have 8 segments, with a dot on the right side of the digit that serves as a decimal point. When using 4-digit 7-segment display, the common anode or common cathode pin is used to control which digit is displayed. Even though there is only one digit working, the principle of Persistence of Vision enables you to see all numbers displayed because each the scanning speed is so fast that you hardly notice the intervals. By building the circuit and editing the program, users can make a simple display showing certain numbers, or more complexly, a count-up timer or a elecrical rolling dice.

Stepper Motor

Stepper motors are DC motors that move in discrete steps. They have multiple coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase in sequence, the motor will rotate, one step at a time.

With a computer controlled stepping you can achieve very precise positioning and/or speed control. For this reason, stepper motors are the motor of choice for many precision motion control applications.

the simplest way of interfacing a unipolar stepper motor to UNO board is to use a breakout

What about novice users who don't have any electronics knowledge? Fear not amigo. Just follow our tutorial enclosed and step by step you will come to realize that learning electronics is more fun than you ever expected with this amazing sensor kit.

It’s a good choice and perfect gift for your friends, family or kids who are obsessed with electronics, programming or robotics1 to take their first steps on electronics journey.

The most complete starter Kit with high quality components and sensors

Quantity and quality are both important here in Elegoo UNO R3 starter kit. The most essential parts in this kit are UNO R3 controller board and expansion board, which is a perfect clone with excellent product finish compatible with Arduino projects.

Besides, we offer other over 60 kinds of components and sensors from small parts like LED diodes, resistors and potentiometer to big parts like LCD1602, RFID module and 830 tie-points breadboard, which meet your demands for your different projects either it is simple or complex.

Sturdy quality is definitely the most important thing to Elegoo even with so many components provided we never compromised on the quality. Instead we keep improving our product quality in our own factory and we produce the products by ourselves under high standards and strict quality control. Pins and wires on some of the parts like LCD16502 and motors have been pre-soldered which is very convenient and saves your time.

74HC595 Shift Register and LEDs

74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs (perfect) and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time.

This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it.

74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip.

LCD1602 Display module

LCD1602 module is a display that has an LED backlight and can display two rows with up to 16 characters on each row. You can see the rectangles for each character on the display and the pixels that make up each character. The display is just white on blue and is intended for showing text.

Lining up the display with the top of the breadboard helps to identify its pins without too much counting, especially if the breadboard has its rows numbered with row 1 as the top row of the board. Do not forget, the long yellow lead that links the slider of the pot to pin 3 of the display. The 'pot' is used to control the contrast of the display.

DC Motors and L293D Transistor

In this project you will learn how to control a small DC motor using an UNO R3 and a L293D transistor, which is a very useful chip. It can actually control two motors independently. We are just using half the chip in this lesson, most of the pins on the right hand side of the chip are for controlling a second motor.

L293D is quadruple high-current half-H drivers and designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is also designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this for left or right hand
Answer:	This robot arm is the new model which is hydraulic and it does not require USB. The hydraulic arm uses regular water to operate. The usb was used in earlier versions of the robot arm.Let me know if that helps.
Question:	Can you add the usb pack to this model
Answer:	To be clear, by "oil" I assume you are referring to the lubricant that came in a small bag. As Dohn Riley pointed out, some of the answers to this question are confusing the oil with the "hydraulic fluid" which is water in this case. You can buy a replacement "oil bag" from the company for $1 plus shipping. I suspect that the oil they use is a kind of mineral oil. It has to be something that is safe for kids to get on their hands etc. It looks and feels like drug store mineral oil but is more viscous.
Question:	What kind of oil can be used as a replacement for the original
Answer:	Yes, but be willing to pay for it. Unless you catch the error within 30 days of purchase (not receipt), they won't stand behind their product at all.
Question:	Is there any way to get extra tubing? Mine was cut short
Answer:	This is the only app-enabled Droid that you put together yourself. Like all littleBits products, the Droid Inventor Kit encourages invention and creativity. It comes with everything you need to create an R2 Unit from scratch, including electronic blocks, plastic Droid parts, and stickers. Each electronic block has a different function (motor, proximity sensor, speaker, etc.), enabling kids to reconfigure and customize their Droid in new ways, transforming their original R2 Unit into any Droid they can dream up. This kit also integrates with any of the other kits (including 70 unique Bits) that littleBits makes. The possibilities for invention are endless.
