How to use an Electromagnet

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is an Electromagnet? The Grove Electromagnet is a type of magnetic actuator that becomes magnetized when an electric current passes through it. When powered on, it can attract small ferromagnetic objects such as nails, screws, or paper clips. When the cur...

How to use a Reed Switch

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is a Reed Switch? The Reed Switch is a type of magnetic switch that changes its state in the presence of a magnetic field. It contains two small ferromagnetic reeds sealed inside a glass tube. When a magnet comes close, the reeds attract each other and cl...

How to use DFPlayer Pro to play MP3

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is a DFPlayer Pro? The DFPlayer Pro is an upgrade of the DFPlayer Mini MP3 Player for Arduino. It is a small and low-priced MP3 module with an internal storage of 128MB. The module can be used as a stand-alone module with an attached battery, speaker and ...

How to use a Bone Conductor Transducer

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is Bone Conduction? Bone conduction is a way of transmitting sound to the inner ear through the bones of the skull instead of through the air and eardrum. In normal hearing, sound waves travel through the air, vibrate the eardrum, and are then passed to t...

How to use a EMG Muscle Sensor

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is an EMG Muscle Sensor? An EMG (Electromyography) muscle sensor is a device that measures the electrical activity produced by muscles when they contract. It detects the small voltage changes that occur when muscle fibres are activated by motor neurons, a...

How to use IR Breakbeam Sensor

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is an IR Breakbeam Sensor? An IR breakbeam sensor is a pair of devices—an infrared (IR) emitter and an IR receiver—that form an invisible beam. When something passes through and blocks the beam, the sensor detects the interruption and triggers an output s...

Using a Joy-IT TFT LCD Display

Physical Computing Tutorials

What is the TFT LCD Display? A TFT LCD display is a type of screen that uses Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology to control the pixels of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). It is one of the most common display types found in devices like smartphones, tablets, m...

Using a Joy-IT 1.3" 128x64 OLED display
