Electronic Bricks Beginner Course

Should every child have played toy bricks; it is the most widely owned toy which help construct preliminary inspirations easily. Easy plugging and dissemble, fast and robust, then creativity are maximized by ignoring engineering difficulties. Similar to electronics for elder inventors: it may not be a problem after you have enough experience and resource to make a prototyping from ground. But so much technical details usually distract the inspirations. How about constructing electronic projects just like Lego brick? Yes! We can build electronics projects so easily. Arduino and its community have made the programming much easier than ever before. Surely we need some elixir on hardware part. By using electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino compatible boards easily with various digital, analog and I2C/Uart interfaces. These the breadboard-less firm connection are prepared to extensive modules like potentiometers, sensors, relays, servos...even buttons, just plug and play. And the best thing about this is, if you know how to program in arduino you are able to program in processing.
