cool...
can you help me?
Yes, you can get the schematics for a Scratch Board and the spec for its serial protocol. This information would enable you to create your own sensor boards.
Note that the Scratch Board is currently input only--that is, you cannot control things with it, and there are currently no Scratch commands to control external devices. However, you can teach kids a lot about simple electronics by having them make controllers for Scratch, such as musical instrument controllers (controlling the note and drum commands) and game controllers. We even had an artist who created an interactive art installation triggered by stepping on a sensor.
\Have fun!
