Got the Electronic Brick

The Electronic Brick Kit

Recently at the Maker Shed I found the ‘Electronic Brick‘ starter kit for Arduino.

The Electronic Brick kit is made by Seeed Studio, (yes, that’s three e’s) you can find it on their homepage here as well.  Online docs (pdf) are available for it.  In addition to the components in the kit, they sell many others that plug into it.

In a nutshell, it provides a shield for the Arduino, and a bunch of modular plug+play components allowing you to easily prototype simple electronics.  The docs show how to integrate these components with Arduino’s programming language.  Which is based on Wiring (implemented in C/C++), which in turn is very similar to Processing (Java).

I’d been looking for something like this for some time:  I’ve been wanting to make some more interesting things with my Arduino, but trying to by hand solder all the required components takes more time and know-how than I want to currently invest.  Plug+play = good.  And a nice project over the Christmas break :)

    Hello,

    Could you tell me if this kit would work with the netduino+? More specifically the demo code?

    Thanks

  2. I’ve personally not used the netduino, nor authored any code for it, so unfortunately I don’t know. I’d ask the brick’s manufacturer, they have a forum for it:
