Several Arduino Module Board Sharing For Enthusiasts

As mentioned above, the functionality of the device is improved by using special circuit boards — childof. This Board is ready to manage any particular process. Childi joined by means of connector - pins. The range of processes that can be managed with the help of childof is rather great: from data to Ethernet motor control. The control system processes using kildow you can gather with his own hands. "Arduino" only distributes is included in the program role of any external device and directly working for themselves on the expansion card. There are times when you need to store some data (e.g., GPS point). The "Arduino" can't make it, because it does not have memory. Here in handy shield that adds the ability to use microSD up to 64 GB. Strangely enough, but Childe even you can create yourself. For example, a simple LCD-shield. To take a screen from an old calculator or pager and attach to the Board pins. Of course, still have to register the program to "Arduino" displays the image on the screen. And all improvised shield ready. 

Programs for "Arduino" are written in the language of Wired. This language is very similar to C++. However, even if you have no programming skills, to deal with Wired still not difficult. On forums dedicated to "Arduino" program for him called "sketches". Even if it is to be lazy programming or not, you can find a huge number of ready-made sketches. For each sketch requires a different set of libraries. Also you can search on the forums for "Arduino". For beginners there is a very good reference book with step by step instructions for the writing of sketches for a particular process. 

Buy Childe for "Arduino" is not necessary. Say, you don't have the extra 30$, but there is a lot of unnecessary details and a great desire for something to automate. Not a problem. The main thing is that you already had the main Board flashed the OS and writing the sketches. From scrap parts may have a diagram of "Arduino". Your hands will only have to solder the components. Although, if the design is assumed stationary, and to solder it is necessary nothing. Simply to connect components with wires. It should be noted that this is a homemade shield for the "Arduino" at cost will work out much cheaper factory. For example, a set of "Arduino" for automation of motors will cost you 80-90$. But if you do the Assembly yourself, you can reduce the cost to 30$. There are also many other sets created for different areas and they include, in addition to the main Board, all the necessary details. For example, set to create "smart" home, video surveillance, climate control or stereo. Naturally, not all childy you can do yourself. In some cases simply can not find the right parts. For example, the shield extension to the memory card have to buy.

By the way, if you need some of the Arduino module boards, you could purchase at Banggood and all of them sold in low prices. Such as,induction heating power module, 0.28 inch Digital Voltmeter, etc.
