This is the Components Kit for CTC (Crack the Code). The Crack the Code unit of work addresses 25 hours of the Digital Technologies context in the new Technology Mandatory syllabus in NSW.
Designed for educational purposes in mind both at home and in school, we've put together the very same parts used in the CTC kit! It includes a 10K Potentiometer, 5mm LEDs, a Buzzer, a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and a pushbutton.
Even if you're not in school, these kits make a great starter set for your Arduino, Micro:bit or Raspberry Pi projects! With these versatile parts, you could learn how to turn on a light, understand sensors or gain hands-on experience with making other simple circuits.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LDR
- A light-dependent resistor is a component whose resistance changes with light level. It is useful for simple brightness sensing, and an ADC board is needed to turn its changing analogue voltage into numbers a microcontroller or computer can read.
- potentiometer
- A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
