• EsploraLightCalibrator : Read the values from the light sensor

NOTE: If you're using the Arduino IDE version 1.0.3 or earlier, you will need to download the latest version of this library, or get it from the Arduino gitHub repository.

• readJoystickButton()

• EsploraAccelerometer : Read the values from the accelerometer

The Esplora Beginners examples show the functionality of the inputs and outputs of the board. They are a good place to start experimenting with the Esplora's capabilities. The Expert examples are more detailed sketches that illustrate project ideas that utilize the board features in novel ways.

Beginners

• EsploraBlink : Blink the Esplora's RGB LED
• EsploraBlink : Read the values from the accelerometer
• EsploraJoystickMouse : Use the Esplora's joystick to control the cursor on your computer

• EsploraLightCalibrator : Read the values from the accelerometer

• EsploraSoundSensor : Read the values from the Esplora's microphone
• EsploraTemperatureSensor : Read the temperature sensor and get the temperature in in Farhenheit or Celsius.

Experts

• EsploraKart : Use the Esplora as a controller to play a kart racing game.
• EsploraTable : Print the Esplora sensor information to a table format.
• EsploraRemote : Connect the Esplora to Processing and control the outputs.
• EsploraPong : Play Pong with the Esplora using Processing.

• EsploraKart : Use the Esplora as a controller to play a kart racing game.

• EsploraRemote : Connect the Esplora to Processing and control the outputs.

• EsploraLedShow : Use the Joystick and slider to create a light show with the LED
• EsploraLedShow2 : Use the Esplora's microphone, linear potentiometer, and light sensor to change the color of the onboard LED.

• EsploraLedShow : Create a light show with the Esplora's LED
• EsploraLedShow2 : Use the Esplora's sensors to change the color of the onboard LED.

The Arduino Esplora has a set of functions for easily interfacing with the sensors and actuators mounted on the board. The functions are accessible through the Esplora class.

For more information about the Esplora, vist the getting started guide and the hardware page.

Examples

• EsploraKart : USe the Esplora as a controller to play a kart racing game.
• EsploraTable : Print the Esplora sensor information to a table format.
• EsploraSlave? : Connect the Esplora to Processing and control the outputs.
• EsploraLedShow : Create a light show with the Esplora
• EsploraLedMic? : Use the Esplora's microphone to change the color of the onboard LED.
• EsploraMusic : Make some music with the Esplora

The library offers easy access to the data from the onboard sensors, and provides the ability to change the state of the outputs.

• EsploraLedShow2

All the sensors except the accelerometer are connected to a 16 channel multiplexer. The library offers easy access to the data from the sensors, and provides the ability to change the state of the various outputs.

The Arduino Esplora has a set of functions for easily interfacing with the sensors and actuators mounted on the board. The functions are accessible through the Esplora class.

All the sensors except the accelerometer are connected to a 16 channel multiplexer and are read using the readChannel() function. The readChannel() function returns the raw data read from the analog input connected to the multiplexer. The library also has some high level functions that elaborate on the analog data, converting it to the physical quantity measured from the sensor.

• 3-axis accelerometer

• bright RGB (Red-Green-Blue) LED
• piezo buzzer

• Esplora Constructor

• readGreen()

• writeGreen()

• readSlider()
• readLightSensor()
• readTemperature()
• readMicrophone()
• readJoystickSwitch()
• readAccelerometer()
• readButton()

Esplora library

(:tableend:)

(:cell width=55%:)

The Arduino Esplora has its set of functions to easly interfacing with the sensors and actuators mounted on the board. The functions are accessible through the Esplora class.

All the sensors except the accelerometer are connected to a 16 channels multiplexer and they are read using the readChannel() function, passing the address. The readChannel() function returns the raw data read from the analog input connected to the multiplexer. The library also has high level functions that elaborate the raw analog data correlating it to the physical quantity measured from the sensor.

The sensors available on the board are:

• 2-Axis analog joystick
• center push-button of the joystick
• 4 push-buttons
• microphone
• light sensor
• temperature sensor
• 3-Axis accelerometer
• 2 TinkerKit input connectors

The actuators available on the board are:

• bright RGB (Red-Green-Blue) led
• buzzer
• 2 TinkerKit output connectors
