    BrainBoard OLED Display & 10DOF & uSD Card Reader

    Data logging, displaying information or just building a project that benefits from a crisp, easy to use display; the BrainBoard kit is quite likely the integrated and tidy package you're looking for. We used an OLED display to enable full graphical displays or simple text output at 128 x 32 resolution and combined it with a micro-sd card reader which you can use to store torrents of data from your sensors or to load information on the fly. All of this is kicked off with our sensor packed 10DOF board which has a 3-axis acellerometer, 3-axis gyro, 3-axis magnetometer, barometric pressure sensor and a temperature sensor on board and you have a power packed kit ready for everything. 

    OLED Display

    Bright, crisp and capable of displaying graphics along with clean and clear text. We wanted a display that was going to enable you to display and graph information but it also had to be super simple to display text without being overly complex or needing lots of programming. Just pop the library (linked at the bottom of the page) into your arduino library folder and you can write text or graphics to this display just like it's an LCD.
    The resolution is 128 x 32 pixels and the brightness will impress you. OLED really does supply clear and crisp looking display.


    10 Degrees of Freedom

    We think our 10 degrees of freedom module is insanely great. In one tiny module you get a triple axis accelerometer, 3 axis gyro, magnetometer, barometric sensor and a temp sensor. We do this all in a cost effective package that you slip on the BrainBoard and you're ready to go. We have sample code and an example so you can see how easy it is to utilise this tool for a huge range of applications. 
    Bump sensing and orientation are now simple. Data-logging temp and pressure just became straight forward.


    Micro-SD card Reader

    The Micro-SD card reader adds practically unlimited non-volatile storage to your project. Store and play .wav files to the card and give your project speech or sound-effects, or log sensor data for later analysis. With the modules and code already done you can start doing this in a few minutes with no programming or electronics experience.

    Cards up to 32GB have been tested, giving you 370,370.370 days, or 1,014.71 years of analog recording once per second, assuming 8-bit measurements. That’s a long time! 

     

    Features

    • Plugs directly into BrainBoard.
    • Tested up to 32GB, and it probably takes larger cards just fine.
    • Simple SPI interface, using standard Arduino library.
    • Onboard regulator and level translation between 3.3V and 5V.
    • A secondary microcontroller reset button (the module covers the main reset button).
    • Duplicated I2C header pins in case those are needed.
    • 3mm mounting lug. Module can be mounted to BrainBoard, robot chassis, etc.

    BrainBoard


    We call it an ‘Arduino-Compatible Swiss Army Knife'. With a motor driver, a bunch of sensors, and the guts of a full Arduino Nano integrated onboard you have the tools to build your project quickly and neatly. Or you can follow our example projects and build a heart rate monitor, a roving tank, integrate Bluetooth wireless communications, start your home automation project or create a data logger for science experiments.

    Why BrainBoard?


    We designed BrainBoard from the ground up to be beginner-friendly. Who’s it for? Great for classrooms, kids, hobbyists, and experienced programmers who want to dip their toes in hardware. Well documented projects with clear and easy to understand code make it quick to pick up and see results.

    Our design philosophy is to provide a range of inexpensive add-on modules that clip on top of the board to push the limits of what it can do. We wanted to bring as much tech to as many people as possible, so the difference between our approach and the usual Arduino shields is that ours are inexpensive, simple, and made specifically for BrainBoard. Add a Bluetooth module, an OLED display, 10-DOF or micro-SD card module (currently in the works, watch this space!) and let your imagination do the rest without hurting the wallet.

    What's onboard:
    • Based on Arduino Nano 3.0 with ATMega328 -- 100% Arduino compatible
    • 32 kB code space, 2kB used by bootloader
    • 2 kB SRAM
    • 16 MHz clock speed
    • 1 A Two-channel motor driver (drive two DC motors, four relays, or one stepper motor)
    • Light dependant resistor (light sensor)
    • Temperature sensor
    • Hand turned potentiometer
    • Two user input buttons
    • Six LEDs wired in three pairs
    • Piezo buzzer (the variable tone variety)
    • 13 user I/O pins with 11 capable of digital I/O and 4 capable of analog input (some do both)
    • USB mini connection with standard Arduino FTDI drivers for communication back to PC
