Fino Education Kit Electronic Components

The brain of the Fino Education Kit is the Arduino Uno R3 development board. The Arduino Uno R3 development board is connected to various electronic components, including:

1 x 8x8 Led Matrix Display
1 x 3 Axis Accelerometer ADXL345
4 x TTP223B Digital Touch Sensors or Buttons
1 x XY Joystick Module
1 x Buzzer
1 x Red LED
1 x Yellow LED
Resistors and capacitors for these electronic components

The connections of these electronic components with Arduino are as follows, indicated by arrows:

8x8 Led Matrix Display -> Din = D12, Clk = D11, Cs = D10 -> 8x8-led-matrix-schematic.png
3 Axis Accelerometer ADXL345 -> SDA = A4, SCL = A5 -> accelerometer-schematic.jpg
TTP223B Digital Touch Sensors or Buttons -> D6, D5, D4, D3 -> button-schematic.png
XY Joystick Module -> Vrx = A0, Vry = A1 -> joystick-schematic.png
Buzzer -> D7 -> buzzer-schematic.jpg
Red LED -> D9 -> led-schematic.png
Yellow LED -> D8 -> led-schematic.png Images are provided in the 'Schematic' folder. The 'Pinout.txt' file in the 'Schematic' folder details the pin connection schema for the Arduino and electronic components mentioned above.

Fino Education Kit Software Development Program

The Arduino IDE is used for software development in the Fino Education Kit. It can be downloaded from the official website.

Fino Gamer Library

The Fino Gamer library provides convenience, practicality, fast learning, and support for software development. It is used for designing animations, operating electronic parts, and coding games. The Fino Gamer library is available on Github in the form of the FinoGamer folder and FinoGamer.zip file. The Fino Education Kit Library is necessary for using the following examples:

Drawing animations on the screen
Creating code applications and designing games
Running electronic components

Installation;

Install the latest version of Arduino. You can obtain this software here.
Open the Arduino software on your computer and navigate to Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library...
Install the downloaded FinoGamer.zip file. This library will appear as: FinoGamer

The easiest way to test that the library has been successfully installed is to follow these steps;

Go to **File -> Open -> Fino-Education-Kit -> CodeGames -> ** and select one of the example programs (e.g., Snake)
Click the Verify button to compile the example, and if it compiles successfully (displays "Done compiling"), you can proceed with uploading.

Coding With Fino Gamer

Animation design softwares consist of 16 examples located in the 'Ex-DesignAnimations' folder. These examples are independent from each other.

Software programs to operate electronic components consist of 35 examples located in the 'Ex-RunComponents' folder. These examples are independent from each other.

Game development through coding consists of 8 games in the 'Ex-CodeGames' folder. These games include:

Animation Designs: There are 10 animation designs. These animations are independent developments.
