The kit’s parts, and what plays them here
The parts in the SunFounder Universal Maker Sensor Kit, by the names its maker gives them. Each one is in the editor’s parts panel.
- Arduino Uno R4 or R3 Arduino Uno R3 Not in the kit: it is a sensor kit for a board you already have. The tutorial has Uno, ESP32, Pico W and Raspberry Pi versions.
- Breadboard Full-size breadboard
- Button Module Button module, KY-004
- Capacitive Soil Moisture Module Soil moisture sensor, capacitive
- Flame Sensor Module Flame sensor
- Gas/Smoke Sensor Module (MQ2) Gas sensor, MQ-2
- Gyroscope & Accelerometer Module (MPU6050) Accelerometer and gyroscope, MPU6050
- Hall Sensor Module Hall sensor, 49E linear The kit’s module carries a 49E linear Hall sensor with an analog output.
- Infrared Speed Sensor Module Photo interrupter, slot A slotted IR sensor with an LM393 comparator on the kit’s board.
- IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module Obstacle sensor, FC-51
- Joystick Module Thumb stick

Questions about this page
Is this made by SunFounder?
No. Mokxi is independent and is not affiliated with SunFounder. The page follows the kit’s lessons so you can use the two side by side; the circuits, sketches and explanations are Mokxi’s own.
Do I need the kit?
No. Every lesson that runs here runs in the browser, so you can try them before you buy a kit, or keep going while a part is missing or broken.
Is the code the same as in my manual?
The pins and the parts are the same, and the sketches use the same libraries where the kit does. The code itself is written for this page, with comments that explain each step, so it will not match the manual line for line.
What do "with a change" and "coming soon" mean?
A lesson marked "with a change" runs, but something differs from the kit, and the note under it says exactly what. "Coming soon" means we cannot simulate that lesson yet, and the note says why. We do not mark a lesson as running unless it does.
Is it free?
Yes. Every lesson on this page opens with no account. A free account saves your own copies of the circuits.
