The Ruggeduino board allows you to connect the SR kit to your own electronics.

This board is very similar to an Arduino which you may have used before.

The Arduino board allows you to connect the SR kit to your own electronics.
12
+
For the SR kit we use a special Arduino called a Ruggeduino.
13
+
This board acts the same as an Arduino Uno but comes with extra protection to stop it from being damaged.

It has 14 digital I/O pins, these pins can either input or output a digital signal.
12
-
5V logic is used to interface with the Ruggeduino.
15
+
We also provide some screw terminal headers that convert the pin headers on the Arduino into screw terminals.
16
+
This makes for easier connection of wires to the Arduino.

The board also has 6 analogue input pins, these pins can read an analogue signal from 0 to 5V.
15
-
The board has a 3.3V pin, a 5V pin and three 0V/ground pins which can be used to power external devices.

If for whatever reason the board does not seem to be working pressing the reset button will reset the Ruggeduino and may solve the problem.

The Ruggeduino needs only to be connected to the kit over USB as it uses this for both power and communication.

## Digital Pins
25
+
26
+
The Arduino has 14 digital I/O pins, these pins can either input or output a digital signal.
27
+
These pins operate at a 5V logic level, so any signals connected need to be 5V.
28
+

+
## Analog Pins
30
+
31
+
The board has 6 analog input pins, these pins can read an analog signal from 0 to 5V.
32
+
These pins also support the standard digital functions.
33
+
34
+
## Power Pins
35
+
36
+
The board has a 3.3V pin, a 5V pin and three 0V/ground pins which can be used to power external devices.
37
+
The power available on these pins is limited when compared to the power board, so only connect low power devices (sensors, LEDs, buttons).
