Binary Blaster is a game designed to help teach what binary numbers are and how to convert from decimal (and hexadecimal) to binary quickly. The game displays a value on the dual 7-segment displays, and the player is challenged to press the buttons in a way that represents the binary equivalent. Pressing a specific button allows a player to “set” that bit while leaving a button alone leaves the bit “clear”. There are four buttons on the Binary Blaster, each one represents a bit giving the...

Digital logic is the foundation of every task that a computer can do, so it's no wonder that in order to fully understand how computers and other digital electronics work, you need to be familiar with logic gates. The problem is that logic gates aren't the most "hands on" subject, until now. The SparkFun LogicBlocks Kit allows you to play with logic gates by literally plugging one into another and watching the progression of an input to an output! Each LogicBlock represents a different logic...

Calling this the "Serial Enabled LCD Kit" doesn't do justice to how cool it actually is. After you've assembled this all-PTH kit, you'll be left with a fully Arduino-compatible development board that just happens to have a white on black 16x2 display built-in. Turns out the ATMega328 is pretty far over-spec for just controlling a parallel LCD so there's a lot of horsepower left over to do whatever else needs to be done. We've broken out all of the unused GPIO pins to 0.1" headers on one side...
