====== Use Electronic Brick sensors ======

<note important>Electronic Brick is now discontinued. It's not possible to buy them anymore.</note>

To be able to use Electronic Brick sensors, you have different way to address them.

===== Using GrovePi shield =====

You can connect Electronic Brick sensors to the GrovePi. You can read the following page to [[raspberry-grove|Install Groove Pi on Raspberry Pi]].

Use the following [[http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Electronic-brick-buckled-3-pin-to-Grove-4-pin-converter-cable-5-PCs-pack-p-729.html?cPath=73|converter cable]] to be able to connect the Electronic Brick 3 pin connector to the Grove 4 pin.

Just have to play with them now. You can use all sensors (led, rotation, button, tilt, buzzer, ...)

===== Using Phidget InterfaceKit =====

You can read the following page to [[raspberry-phidget|Install Phidgets on Raspberry Pi]].

You can use the Phidget Interface Kit 8/8/8 to connect the sensors to. You will be able to use the following sensors directly:
  * Rotation sensor
  * Temperature sensor
  * Tilt switch
  * Big button

The first two ones have equivalent components in Phidget kit, but the two last ones are interesting to use.

===== Using Raspberry Pi Arduino shield add-on =====

<note warning>This last solution is not yet tested, but we have all the component to test it as soon as possible.
</note>

If you want to use the Electronic Brick shield, you will need the Raspberry Arduino Shield Add-on to connect any Arduino shield to the Raspberry. With that solution, you should be able to use the LCD 1602 component that uses a 10 pin connector.
