TinkerBlock 46-Piece Sensor Module Kit
Forty-four modules on gold-plated breakouts, sharing one pin convention — and the forty-five-lesson workshop written around them.
Your 5 steps
Saved in this browserDrivers, board package, and one upload that proves the whole chain works — before thirty people try it at once.
What a pin is, what HIGH means, and the difference between a delay and a schedule. Ends with a working traffic light.
Buttons, light, sound, temperature. Where analog values come from, and why they wobble.
Displays, matrices and motors. The block where the projects start to look like products.
Finished builds, each one combining sensors, a display and something that moves.
What is in your box
Each part links to its own page, written once and shared across kits.

The whole series in one case, and the course written around it. Every module shares the same four-pin header and the same silkscreen convention, so the wiring you learn on the first one is true for all forty-four.
Gold Edition
The contacts are immersion gold — ENIG plating, real gold laid down as an ultra-thin, uniform layer on the pads. It costs more than the usual tin or nickel finish and it buys two things that matter for a kit that gets handled: better conductivity, and resistance to the oxidation that turns a two-year-old breakout into an intermittent one. Lead-free and RoHS compliant, which is what lets it into a classroom.
What is in the range
Environmental sensing with thermistors and light sensors. Inputs — buttons, switches, a joystick, a keypad. Outputs — LEDs, buzzers, a vibration motor. Then memory, displays and level conversion, for when the projects get bigger.
Every module carries its interface on the card: DIGITAL, ANALOG, I2C, SPI or PWM. Filter the module index by one of those and you get every part in the box that speaks it.
The project list further down is computed from what is actually in the box against every parts list on this site, so nothing in it needs a part you do not already have.
