The Vernier Resistor Board has seven 1 W 5% resistors mounted on a circuit board. Test clip holes on either side of the resistors allow for easy connections to clips on wire leads.
The Go Direct Energy Sensor quantifies the voltage, current, power, and energy output of small wind turbines and solar panels, such as those used in our KidWind Experiment Kits. It connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.
