Dual Axis Solar Tracker
ID: #593467
Description
Overview Please note that this kit has been discontinued. Create your own computer controlled Solar Tracker in under an hour with this specialized solar kit! This kit includes everything you need to complete the project, from the wooden parts and screws to the custom Arduino shield and micro servos. The entire project takes about an hour to build. The only tools you'll need to complete this project are some screw drivers and a computer to upload the final code (included). When finished the project can be power by any USB power source, such as a power bank or computer USB port. Data collection is easy using the 6V 200mA solar panel and the LED volt meter. This allows the tracker to easily be used as part of a science faire project or as a classroom demo. Since the kit is only held together by screws it can easily be disassembled for multiple uses in a classroom setting. To make the build easier we've designed out own custom Arduino Shield and PCB sensor holder. Code is included in our online directions and can be uploaded via the free Arduino IDE software. Curious creators can also modify or upload their own custom code through the same interface. If you don't wish to purchase the full kit you can chose to buy just the electronics or just the wooden pieces and screws. The Electronics Package comes with our custom shield, Arduino, servos, solar panel and other various electronics components. We do recommend buying the full kit as all our parts are designed to work together and we can not guarantee that other components will provide the same build experience. Directions, Lesson Plans, and Videos Detailed instructions as well as a build guide video can be found in our Project Database . If your solar tracker is labeled V3 on the wood, use that guide as we have made some minor modifications. Otherwise you most likely have V2. If you're interested in building your own from tracker 100% from scratch we make all our laser cut, PCBs, and code available as Open Source. This information can all be found on our GitHub Repo . The only downside is that we can't provide any technical support.

Solar USB Kit 1.0
$22.95
Overview Build your own solar powered gadget charger in minutes with this simple soldering kit! Centered around 2 rechargeable AA batteries this kit is a great solar powered activity to learn about soldering, solar power, and engineering. Plug in your favorite USB device and when you've depleted your battery power stick this charger in the sun to recharge You'll need some simple soldering skills to build this kit. Overall there are 5 solder points with most of them being through hole to a circuit board. Build time is is between 20-45 minutes and will require a soldering iron, screw driver, and hot glue gun, though it isn't a bad idea to also have a wire cutter/ stripper around. Rechargeable AA batteries are a very safe and inexpensive source energy storage, but they're not really great at recharging devices. Typically a full charge on the included 2 AA batteries will only charge up a modern phone 5-10%, with some phones using MORE power than the charger can output (meaning you won't see any percent change). If you're looking to build yourself a more powerful version our Solar USB 3.0 includes a lithium battery, we just don't recommend this for younger Makers. The project does NOT come with an Altoids tin or enclosure. If you go this route please keep in mind that the tin edges are VERY sharp and can easily cut a finger open. It's also quite conductive so you'll need to properly insulate the tin with electrical tape or hot glue. We recommend using a $1 Store plastic food container instead. Directions, Lesson Plans, and Videos Follow our step by step directions or video found in our online Project Database . Directions available in English and Spanish. This kit is often used in classrooms, camps, and after school programs to teach solar energy. If you have questions about running a large group activity with this kit feel free to email or call us. We have a lot of helpful tips and tricks on appropriate classroom management when soldering.
Lithium Battery Mini USB Charge Controller
$3.95
Overview This is a simple lithium battery charge controller for use with 3.7V lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries. The PCB is marked for easy soldering. To charge an attached battery either plug a mini USB cable unto the board or use the IN + and IN - solder points with a voltage between 4.5-5.5V DC. The board has a maximum current rating of 1A and uses linear charging. The board uses two small LEDs as indicators, with RED during charging and BLUE when the battery is full. Warning : Lithium batteries are in nearly every gadget we use and are, in general, safe. However they can start a fire or become deadly if handled improperly.
Lithium Battery Micro USB Charge Controller
$3.95
Overview This is a simple lithium battery charge controller for use with 3.7V lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries. The PCB is marked for easy soldering, with power in, power out, and battery in solder points. To charge an attached battery either plug a micro USB cable unto the board or use the IN + and IN - solder points with a voltage between 4.5-5.5V DC. The board has a maximum current rating of 1A and uses linear charging. The board uses two small LEDs as indicators, with RED during charging and BLUE when the battery is full.

6V 80mA Solar Cell
$4.95
Overview A small solar cell that outputs 6V at 80mA. The cell m easures only 73mm x 53mm and is encased in a hard epoxy. Two copper pads on the backside allows for easy soldering. We typically use this cell with our Solar USB Kits where they end up charging 2 or 3 AA batteries.
Bristlebot Kits
$4.95
Overview Create your own zippy bot in minutes with this fun filled electronics kit! Bristlebots are a fun way to learn about basic engineering, motor, circuits, and principals of balance. Creating a bot is simple, just attach the parts to the tooth brush head and watch them go. Change they way they move and behave by adjusting the balance and pipe cleaners. Bristlebots are a great rainy day activity or a fun way to spice up a classroom activity. Each Bristlebot Kit includes all the parts you need to create your own bot. Building a bot takes 5-10 minutes of time and their included battery lasts for up to 2 hours. Bristlebots are not intended to be taken apart and reused, however some parts can be individually reused. We recommend Bristlebots for anyone ages 10 and up due to the small parts and included coin cell batteries. Individual parts and components are also available for sale. Warning : Kit includes small parts and batteries. These are a choking hazard. Not intended for children under the age of 10. Directions, Lesson Plans, and Videos Printable directions in English and Spanish can be found on our online Project Database , along with leveled Lesson Plans and Student Activity Sheets. If you have questions about implementing our Bristlebots in your classroom or after school program please contact us. We've been helping educators implement Bristlebots in their classrooms for years and have many helpful tips and tricks.
