Octopus Electronic Bricks make building electronics projects as simple as stacking bricks. With these bricks, you can effortlessly connect Arduino/Freaduino compatible boards to various digital, analog, and I2C/Uart interfaces. The breadboard-less firm connection allows you to plug and play with a wide range of modules like potentiometers, sensors, relays, servos, and even buttons. The Octopus 5mm LED light Brick, combined with a special sensors Arduino board and an ambient light sensor extension, is great for light interaction projects. When connected to Arduino, the LED light module can be controlled via a digital pin (LOW on, HIGH off), and its brightness can be adjusted with PWM output. The Freaduino Sensor Shield is the ideal choice to connect this sensor to Arduino, or you can use the Freaduino UNO with a pre-set Octopus Brick interface. There are five colors available: White (default), Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. Specifications include a voltage range of +3.3 - 5V, pin definition of 1 Signal (Yellow), 2 Vcc (Red), 3 GND (black), and a weight of 5g. For more product details, visit the ElecFreaks wiki page. Your help in improving the documents, adding demo code or tutorials is highly appreciated.
Using this product is a breeze. First, connect the Octopus Electronic Bricks to your Arduino or Freaduino compatible board as described. The plug - and - play design means you don't need a breadboard. If you're using the LED light module, connect it to Arduino. Remember, it works with the digital pin where LOW turns it on and HIGH turns it off. You can adjust the brightness using PWM output. When choosing a way to connect the sensor, the Freaduino Sensor Shield is a great option, or you can use the Freaduino UNO. You have five color options for the LED light, so pick the one you like. In terms of maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.
