What are Modulino®?
Modulino® are sensors and actuators that simply connect via the UNO R4 WiFi’s onboard Qwiic connector. You can connect more than one for more complex projects and never have to wonder which side goes where, because the connector is polarized.
The Plug and Make Kit includes one of each:
- Modulino® Knob: for super-fine value adjustments
- Modulino® Pixels: eight LEDs to shine bright, dim down, or change color – you choose!
- Modulino® Distance: a time-of-flight proximity sensor to measure distances with precision
- Modulino® Movement: to perfectly capture movements like pitch, roll or tilt
- Modulino® Buzzer: to generate your own alarm sounds or simple tunes
- Modulino® Thermo: a sensor for both temperature and humidity data
- Modulino® Buttons: three buttons for quick project navigation
Do I need an Arduino account to access the content and complete the projects?
Yes, an Arduino account is required to access all the content and utilize the Arduino Cloud features. Setting up an account is super quick—just start here!
Where can I find the content?
You can access all the content for the Plug and Make Kit at arduino.cc/plug-and-make-kit.
Is the content free?
Yes, the content is completely free! All you need to do is create an Arduino account to access the materials and the Arduino Cloud platform.
What is the minimum age to use the Plug and Make Kit?
We recommend that users be 14 years of age or older to comply with our children's privacy protection policy. Learn more about our policy here.
Do I need an Arduino Cloud subscription to complete the projects?
No, you can complete all the projects without a subscription. But if you’re planning to work on more than two projects simultaneously, you might want to check out our Arduino Cloud subscription plans for extra capabilities.
What are the minimum hardware or software requirements?
You’ll need a computer with a USB-C® or USB A port (the kit includes a USB-C® cable with a USB-A adapter). Operating system-wise, you should have Windows 10 or higher, macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or higher, or Linux® with the dbus package. Also, a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi® network is required to connect to the Arduino Cloud for completing projects.
Will I need any additional tools for the kit?
Everything necessary to build the projects is right in the box. However, if you need to tighten screws and nuts securely, we recommend having a Phillips screwdriver on hand, which isn’t included in the kit.
