BrainBoard 10 Degrees of Freedom & OLED Display
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.
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.
