Do you have an old I2C board lying around that would be perfect only if it had easyC connectors? With the easyC adapter and a little bit of soldering, you can give it new life. It will be able to connect easily to newer boards with easyC cables.

The adapter has two easyC connection ports and four plated through-holes: SCL, SDA, 3.3V, and GND. It comes with pins that need to be soldered to the board.

Product usage tips:

Connecting easyC devices to the adapter is the same as to any other easyC device. Choose an easyC cable and connect it to the adapter. That’s it.

To ensure the longevity of the adapter, avoid working with it in wet environments. Device operates at the 3.3V voltage level so higher voltages can burn it.

Obstacle sensor, based on TCRT5000, uses infrared diode and photo-receiver to detect obstacle in front of it – emitted light just reflects back to the sensor. Onboard, you’ll find voltage comparator, so just by adjusting the potentiometer, the board gives digital output. There’s LED DO onboard to show the current digital output status. There’s analog output as well, in case you need it. Sensor works particularly well for line-following purposes on small robots.

The USB Type-C is ubiquitous. We always wanted to add it to our electronics projects, and we’re sure you did too. Adding a USB Type-C connector to your projects is easier than ever thanks to this USB Type-C breakout board. It will allow you to send data to your device, as well as add power to the circuit.

The USB Type-C connector’s GND, CC2, SBU2, D-, D+, SBU1, CC1, and VUSB pins are broken out to the plated through-holes.

Product usage tips:

Male headers that are included need to be soldered to the board. The breakout board has two mounting holes and can be placed on any surface.

The MicroUSB is still everywhere around us, even though it’s slowly being replaced with USB Type-C. We’re sure you wanted to add it to your electronics projects. We did, too, that’s why we added the MicroUSB female connector breakout board to our roster!

The Micro B USB connector’s GND, ID, D+, D-, and VCC pins are broken out to the plated through-holes.

The pins included need to be soldered to the board. It won’t move an inch when mounted with the two mounting holes.

Are you short on IO pins? Looking to increase the number of them? That’s what the GPIO Expander MCP23017 is for! It uses I2C communication to do so. With just two wires, 16 new fully configurable digital IO pins are added to a microcontroller.

Due to the jumpers on the board, the I2C address of a device can be changed. Thus, eight breakout boards can be connected to a microcontroller. All of the pins on the expander board have pull-out resistors that can be turned on and off.

The HX711 is a highly versatile load cell amplifier that is widely used in various applications requiring precise weight measurements. It is designed to convert analog signals into digital values, making it ideal for integration with microcontrollers, Dasduino boards, and other digital systems.

This load cell amplifier employs a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to ensure high-resolution and accurate readings. It supports differential input signals and offers two differential input channels, allowing the connection of up to two load cells simultaneously. This feature enables the measurement of both single- and multi-load cell systems, expanding its application range.

The HX711 incorporates an integrated voltage regulator, which provides a stable supply voltage for the load cells and ensures accurate and reliable measurements. It operates with a low supply voltage, typically ranging from 2.6V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a wide range of power sources. This breakout board features connectors for easy connection with other boards and microcontrollers within the easyC system. It also comes with switches for selecting the I2C address.

The HX711 breakout allows you to easily read the weight value from a load-cell sensor (mass sensor). This small ADC is of great precision and is capable of measuring very small changes in the load-cell resistance, whose signals are amplified with the built-in amplifier. Subsequently, this same information is digitally transmitted to a microcontroller that simply converts the numbers obtained into the actual weight. That’s why this breakout is very useful for projects with scales or presence sensors, either for individuals or industry.

Breakout supports the connection of load cells that are made by the Wheatstone Bridge technique, like most of the load cells. They usually have four wires, two for power supply (E + and E, most often red and black), and two for signal (A + and A-, most commonly white and green wire). The pins for these wires are also indicated on the PCB and it is easy to connect.

The TCRT5000 is an infrared (IR) reflective sensor module that is commonly used for proximity sensing and line-following applications. It consists of an infrared emitter and a phototransistor placed side by side in a compact package. The emitter emits infrared light, which gets reflected off nearby objects, and the phototransistor detects the intensity of the reflected light.

This sensor module is widely used in robotics and automation projects. It can be used to detect the presence or absence of objects by measuring the intensity of reflected infrared light. It is also commonly employed in line-following robots where it can detect and follow lines marked with contrasting colors.

The TCRT5000 operates on a supply voltage typically ranging from 3.3V to 5V. The breakout board provides digital and analog information through the easyC system. Sensor readings are obtained through easyC.

Product usage tips:

Two mounting holes enable easy mounting to surfaces.

This adapter makes connection of LCD to Dasduino (or any other Arduino-compatible board) a breeze! It uses I2C communication which needs only two pins. It can be used and work with all of ours LCDs (16×2, 20×4, 16×4). Use our library and get started in few minutes of work!

It’s even easier with easyC – no soldering is needed!

ADC (Analog Digital Converter) is a device that reads analog signals (just like the analogRead () function in Arduino IDE) and converts them into a digital signal that can be read by a microcontroller. This breakout is based on the ADS1115 ADC, which reads values in 16-bit resolution, receives a maximum of 3.3V on its inputs and has a total of 4 channels (which can also be used as two differential). Works great with each microcontroller at 5V. It has 2 easyC connectors for easier connection on I2C communication.

The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is an affordable and super-popular sensor that measures the distance between itself and an object located in front of the sensor. Very simple to use, it returns the distance in centimeters or inches.

In this variation, it comes on a board with an Attiny microcontroller that sends readings from the sensor as a digital signal via the easyC connector to the microcontroller, which makes its connections a piece of cake.

The Stepper Motor Driver DRV8825 enables precise control of stepper motors, making it an ideal choice for 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotics projects. This breakout board features the DRV8825 chip, which supports microstepping for smoother and quieter motor operation.

The module is designed for bipolar stepper motors and allows adjustable current limiting, as well as overcurrent and overtemperature protection for reliable performance. It supports up to 1/32 microstepping, improving positioning accuracy and reducing vibration compared to lower microstepping drivers like the A4988.

A built-in potentiometer enables easy current regulation, allowing you to fine-tune motor performance based on your project’s needs. With a wide voltage range of 8.2V – 45V, this driver can be used with a variety of power sources, making it highly versatile for different applications.

A loadcell is a small device that is able to weigh the load that is on it. Depending on the load, it provides very small output voltages that needs to be amplified (e.g. using an op-amp or an ADC with a built-in op-amp) in order to be able to do useful things with it. It has two fixed and two variable resistors connected to the Wheatstone bridge.

It needs to be connected to the HX711 board so you can read the readings with the Croduino. For more details, see How to Use the Module Tutorial in the upper right corner.
