What IS a HyperDuino?

The HyperDuino &quot;piggybacks&quot; onto an Arduino. No need for breadboards, jumpers, resistors or soldering!

Being curious about it all and after seeing sites that mentioned &quot;Raspberry Pi&quot; and links to groups of Arduino fan pages...

Now for another question that you did not ask...

So... What did Auntie do with her first Arduino?

Other than taking the wires and motors and sensors out of the box and looking at the instructions and project ideas...

Seriously-- Did I really want to spend 45 minutes constructing a &quot;Love-O-Meter&quot; like the example in the Arduino Projects Book?

... It all went BACK into the box where it would have stayed...

and things immediately began to make sense!!

Arduino is a &quot;microcontroller&quot; or a tiny circuit board that can be programmed to do things.

Arduino is hardware and software. It is a &quot;tinkering tool&quot; for people who want to experiment with electronics.

You can use the USB cable to connect the HyperDuino to your computer or Chromebook.

... Or use a 9volt battery to use the HyperDuino without your computer!

Your HyperDuino comes ready to use with the battery (so you can get started right away)!

We have made The Little Museum, an interactive Paintings Game, books, a clicker... and even a PinBall Game!

LEDs can be attached to the map using the battery.

...or... You can connect to your computer or ChromeBook to create a more complex project!

LED Light Emiting Diode (Note how one &quot;leg&quot; is shorter than the other)

The pins (&quot;legs&quot;) of the LED fit into the sockets of the Rainbow ribbon cables.

The USB cable connects the HyperDuino to computers or ChromeBooks to create Playlists for more complex projects that include video!

Searching the Internet for more information may just make you even more confused! There are examples of robots and blinking LED cubes and musical instruments... And very intimidating examples of &quot;simple&quot; coding!

&quot;Arduino is an open source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It&apos;s intended for anyone making interactive projects.&quot;
