The E-blocks2 Prototype Board (BL0117) provides an array of standard 2.54mm pitch holes which can be used to solder electronics onto the E-blocks board permanently. The board is also supplied with a small breadboard, allowing for temporary electronics to be created and tested with the E-blocks2 system. The small breadboard features a sticky back to be attached to the top of the Prototype E-blocks2 circuit board if required. 6 prototype leads are also included with this board.
The board exposes the eight data lines from the microcontroller port and the various power connections +V, 3V3, 5V and GND via turned pin sockets suitable for linking to your circuitry using single core wire.
If using this board with First Generation downstream E-blocks, then you will need an E-blocks2 upstream to E-blocks downstream connector.
The E-blocks2 Switch x 8 (BL0145) is a valuable tool allowing you to control what is happening in the system. The switches are push to make and active high, meaning the voltage to the microcontroller port pins is low when the switch is not pressed and high when the switch is pressed.
The E-blocks2 LED board (BL0167) allows you to indicate what is happening or the ongoing real-time status of the system. LEDs can be driven digitally using on or off-output states or an analog way using pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques.
The E-blocks2 AVR Programmer (BL0086) supports multiple languages: Assembly, C, Arduino IDE, and Flowcode. It uses the mLoader tool for programming. Equipped with an ATMEGA328P microcontroller, it conveniently connects port pins through E-blocks2 sockets. Power can be supplied externally or via micro USB.
