ELECTRONICS
Electronics are embedded in several modules called brikos that connect to the brain called the BK7. The connection between the brikos and brain is via a quick connect cable. You can find detailed information of each of the brikos on the website at the following link. Click on the Briko you want to learn more about.
BK7/ Brain
The brain, called BK7 is very easy to identify because it is the only one with an octagonal shape. This is the most important element of Briko since it is responsible for controlling the rest of the brikos also supplies the power to operate. All programming us to realize is we are going to send / upload from your computer to BK7 using a micro cable USB, remember that the brain is the one who will save the program and make different brikos we connect you work.
The BK7 has 7 ports that can connect to any brikos. You can connect up to 7 modules with the BK7, hence its name. The connection is made ​​via flat cables, they feature a notch that prevents improperly connecting the cable. Button Reset / Start : When pressed once pauses your project by remaining inactive, to press again and your project is restarted, if you press the button for more than 4 seconds the BK7 enters the programming mode. Led upper indicator : it will be on all the time to indicate that the BK7 receives battery power. Led lower indicator : it flashes in different manners to indicate different states; a slow and steady flash indicates your project is paused, an irregular and rapid blinking indicates that the BK7 is receiving a computer program.
Outputs
These type of brikos are the action takers, these are the fun brikos to use because they give life to your projects.
Leds
It has 5 LED RGB lights that can turn any color you can imagine.
Horn
It generates different sounds and musical notes depending on the frequency that you program.
Motor
Generates rotary motion. You can control the speed and direction of rotation.
Servo
You can control the exact position of where you want to place the engine.
Relay
Links your projects to AC devices.
Numeric Display
Displays digits on your screen, you can display up to 4 digits and some letters.
Entries
This type of brikos are very useful, they are the ones that allow us to measure what happens in the environment or allows a person to manually control the brikos. These are the briko senses. They are divided into 2 types, sensors and human interaction or input.
to.sensors
A sensor is an electronic element that allows us to measure or sense a physical variable environment, Briko has 3 sensors:
Distance Sensor
This sensor measures the distance between an object and Briko, 7 to 80 centimeters or 2 to 31 inches.
Temperature Sensor
This sensor measures the ambient temperature from -30 to 110 in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit 22-230.
Light Sensor
It measures the amount of light in the environment, gives values ​​from 0 which is in complete darkness, and measures 255 outside on a sunny day.
Human inputs, interactions
These brikos allow people to interact directly with the project, there are 2 of them:
Buttons
With this Briko you can use buttons to control actions in your projects.
Knob
It operates to vary the value of something gradually. It can be programmed to regulate things like the brightness of the LEDs or engine speed.
