 What IS a HyperDuino?

This is a series of mini-books about HyperDuino and MakerBit. The ideas can be read online. More info at www.auntgoodiebags.com 

HyperDuino-MakerBit Ideas

"Piggybacked" Arduino and HyperDuino

Power Cord 9volt battery and connector

L.E.D. Light Emiting Diode (Note how one "leg" is shorter than the other)

L.E.D.s can be attached to the map using the battery.

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

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

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

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 "simple" coding!

You can use a Powercord 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)!

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 "Love-O-Meter" 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!!

This book was made using the <a href="http://www.bookcreator.com">Book Creator</a> app!

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

Let's start with this question... that you did not ask-

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

Being curious about it all and after seeing sites that mentioned "Raspberry Pi" 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?

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