Learn about the Tinkerforge building block system
Become familiar with the different devices from the development kit.
The kit consists of 5 devices from the small German company name :
A controller ()
A combined humidity and temperature sensor ()
A colored LED ()
A colored LED button ()
An OLED display ()
To connect the devices, the kit includes the following cables:
2 x 15 cm 10p-7p cables
2 x 15 cm 10p-10p cables
1 x USB cable (USB Type A to USB Mini A) to connect the controller to a PC (or Raspberry Pi)
Click on the link for each device to see the official documentation with specification details.
The controller can connect to 4 devices simultaneously. The Tinkerforge building block system in its latest version uses 7-pole cables to connect devices via standardized sockets. Some older devices still use 10-pole cables. To mix both new and old devices, Tinkerforge offers 7p-10p cables as well. Depending on the mix of old and new devices, we need to make sure we have the right cables available.
