{"product_id":"sparkfun-gator-control-protosnap","title":"SparkFun gator:control ProtoSnap","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SparkFun gator:control ProtoSnap is one of a series of gator-clippable accessories called gator:boards that have been created to directly interface with the micro:bit or to other micro controllers! The gator:control ProtoSnap offers a handful of ways to interact with projects you create using only gator-clip cables. Each little board on this ProtoSnap can be kept as a whole while on the board or broken apart for individual use!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe gator:control ProtoSnap contains four boards in the main assembly including two buttons, an on\/off slide switch and a reed switch, which is activated by a magnet. A button or switch is something that can act as both an open and closed circuit, and either one makes a great addition to your project if you want to add some form of control to your project. You can use buttons or switches as part of a circuit you're building, or as a digital input for your micro:bit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pads on either side of the button or switch will be connected while attached to the ProtoSnap. Snapping the board apart can be easily done by twisting each of the control boards side to side until it pops out. This will need to be done if you want to use any of the boards on their own. Keep in mind that the buttons will only close the circuit while it is pressed down; releasing the button opens the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/gatorcontrol-protosnap-hookup-guide\" class=\"btn btn-default\"\u003eGet Started with the SparkFun gator:control ProtoSnap Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded on the ProtoSnap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2x gator:button Board\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1x gator:switch Board\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1x gator:reed Board\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/0\/e\/9\/8\/d\/SparkFun_gatorcontrol_ProtoSnap.pdf\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/1\/e\/a\/5\/e\/SparkFun_gatorcontrol_ProtoSnap.zip\"\u003eEagle Files\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/gatorcontrol-protosnap-hookup-guide\"\u003eHookup Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/gatorbit-hookup-guide\"\u003egator:bit Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/getting-started-with-the-microbit\"\u003eGetting Started with the micro:bit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/pages\/microbit\"\u003eAbout micro:bit Page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/microbit.org\/code\/\"\u003emicro:bit Programmer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sparkfun\/gator_control\"\u003eGitHub\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVideos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video-wrap clearfix\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video widescreen img\"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SGKvX5l-VXE\/?autohide=1\u0026amp;border=0\u0026amp;wmode=opaque\u0026amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAll product and company names are trademarks™ or registered® trademarks of their respective holders.
