Anything that has a resistance. So you could hold one end in one hand, and the other end in the other hand, and the difference in resistance depending upon how tight you hold them will change the value. You can use them for lots of things, if you think about it...
it's a little board the plugs into your computer. it has a button and a slider and other sensors like shown in this project. you can control your games using the sensors.
Yeah. It it comes with a serial-to-USB adapter cable that's about four feet long, and four sets of wires connected to mini-jacks terminated with alligator clips.
We just got one of the Scratch Boards (now called PicoBoards), and it's great. But we noticed on the forums that people are still confused about how it works. This project simulates the board fairly well, so you can kinda play around with it. You can actually use it to prototype Scratchboard apps to see how they may work. The variables at the top of the screen are similar to the sensor values the board creates.
Hold down [H] key and mouseover things to get info on certain parts of the board.

can you buy these in england?
theres a link to this in google images!
nice
Hey, could I use this to make a sensor board game?
of course.
awesome!
i love it
Awesome!
what does it do?!?!?!
I Have a question... Do they sell sensorboards in the uk?
Very Cool.
YAY!
Where do you buy the sensor board.I am in NZ.
Here's the site: http://www.picocricket.com/picoboard.html
now i really really want one of these! *really*
Yeah. They're pretty fun to play with.
(view all replies)cool! I have one myself, and I love it.
my problem is my computer naver (well some times) fines it.
me too
very helpfull! Thanks!
Thanks. If you come up with an interesting sensor board project, be sure to let me know and I'll put it in the sensor board gallery I put together.
It's realy cool. I love the plugs good graphic. Nice effects. I love also the light ;-). Great work.
cool
this is cool, but can you further explain how the jacks work to me? what would it be plug into in real life?

(view all replies)Great explanation, to bad I don't have a Scratchboard/Picoboard
This is handy! Cool idea, well made.
:) Cool
Chalkmarrow, this might interest you. It can help debug long sequences of code! (link to project)
i dont get what a scratch board is!

Great idea
Is the Serial to USB adapter included?
Yeah. It it comes with a serial-to-USB adapter cable that's about four feet long, and four sets of wires connected to mini-jacks terminated with alligator clips.
What a great simulation! Very handy and gives me a real feel for what this thing can do.
Great job! Sound sensor (mic) only works when downloaded but this is a great sim.
I just wish the price was back down to 30.....then I would buy one, but now I'm not so sure....
it's 30 in the UK... LUCKY ME!
