Introduction C Tinkering Kit on Ubuntu

  • This works fine on ODROID-XU4, ODROID-N2 as well.

You're probably itching to make some fun embedded computer projects with ODROID-C. What you need is an add on prototyping T-breakout board, which can break out all those tasty power, GPIO, I2C, ADC pins from the 40 pin header onto a solderless breadboard. This set will make “cobbling together” prototypes with the ODROID-C super easy.

This kit comes with below many items.

  • Assembled T-breakout PCB - 40Pin GPIO Breakout board
  • Breadboard - 630 Tie-points with dual power lanes
  • 40pin Ribbon cable - IDC Flat cable 100mm
  • 40pin Male-to-Male Dupont jumper Wire 170mm
  • 7 x Green LED 3mm
  • 7 x Yellow LED 3mm
  • 7 x Red LED 3mm
  • 2 x Photo Cell (cds Light sensor)
  • 6 x Tact Switchs
  • 50 x 330 Ohm 1/6W resister
  • 50 x 10K Ohm 1/6W resister
