C51 Microcontroller Project Launcher — C51 Microcontroller Project Launcher
This free-standing circuit module is designed for the serious electronics student brave enough to get “under the hood” and learn microcontrollers from the inside out! The device can be programmed via an ISP interface using the Silicon Labs IDE. Extensive PDF courseware and supporting documentation are provided upon purchase of this product.

Simple 315MHz Transmitter/Receiver Pair — Simple 315MHz Transmitter/Receiver Pair
Operating at 315MHZ using on-off keying (OOK), this breadboard module is designed to modulate either a 0-to-3.0V rectangular wave form from an external source or a 4.0KHz beacon signal generated by an onboard oscillator. This module is ideal for teaching the fundamentals of remote control and keyless access. This circuit module and its complementary product, the Simple 315MHz Receiver Circuit Module should be purchased as a pair.

Simple 315MHz Transmitter/Receiver Pair — Simple 315MHz Transmitter/Receiver Pair
A complementary product to the Simple 315MHz Transmitter, this breadboard module is designed to demodulate the signal transmitted by that device. The module contains a 4.0KHz piezo transducer that produces its clearest and strongest tone when demodulating the 4.0KHz signal produced by the transmitter module. A yellow LED also glows steadily with this condition. (The 4.0KHz beacon signal can be used to check the range of the RF pair.) This circuit module and its complementary product, the Simple 315MHz Transmitter Circuit Module should be purchased as a pair.

Flasher/Audio Alert Board — Flasher/Audio Alert Board
If purchased in kit form, this breadboard circuit module is as an ideal starter product for the new student. When the module receives an enable signal, the LED flashes and the piezo audio transducer beeps. While assembling the kit, the student becomes acquainted with a variety of electronic components. (The product is also available in assembled form.)

Microcontroller Display Module — Microcontroller Display Module
This free-standing circuit module serves as a complementary product to the PRESSON C51 Microcontroller Project Launcher (or an Arduino eight-bit MCU). Eight LEDs can serve as bit-wise indicators for a microcontroller output port. Three seven-segment displays can display numeric output data.

DC Voltage Breakout Circuit Module — DC Voltage Breakout Circuit Module
This free-standing circuit module accepts an input voltage ranging from +12.0VDC to nearly +30.0VDC from an external source (an AC wall adapter or a benchtop power supply) and convert it to highly regulated +3.3VDC, +5.0VDC, +9.0VDC, and +12.0VDC outputs. This product is ideal for use in a lab environment where multiple DC power sources are required: +3.3V for powering microcontrollers and low-power wireless devices, +5.0VDC for powering digital logic ICs, +9.0VDC for powering analog circuits, +12VDC and +24VDC for powering relays, small motors and low-power solenoids.

Reflective Proximity Sensor — Reflective Proximity Sensor
This breadboard module could be an ideal starter kit for the new student. When the IR reflective photosensor on the ground plane side senses the approach of a reflective object, the LED illuminates and the module produces a high output pulse. The device could be used as a contactless limit switch in a variety of applications. (The product is also available in assembled form.)
