9. 433 MHz Transmitter and Receiver Modules
This is a very low cost transmitter and receiver pair. Typical transmission distances are up to 100 yards or meters. They are very suitable for remote control (with longer distances than IR and no direct line of sight required), sensor transmission or data logging applications. Use of antennas, particularly on the transmitter will ensure decent transmission/reception distances. A quarter-wave antenna of around 17.5 cm or 8.2 inches is the calculated length. In practice a length of wire around 12 inches has proven better. The transmitter can be driven at varying voltages up to 12V max. At 9V we were able to achieve transmission from any position to any other in a 3,000 square feet house in a third of an acre plot using 12" antennas at 2400 bps. The virtualWire library makes it easy to use the devices with Arduino.See http://www.open.com.au/mikem/arduino/

Arduino Sensor Shield V5.0
The Arduino Sensor Shield V5.0 is an input/output (I/O) stackable shield that breaks out the various I/O pins of the Arduino to connectors that are more robust than the pins on the Arduino board. This allows you to connect various modules like sensors, servos, relays, buttons, potentiometers and much more.
Digital I/O ports include digital pins 0 through 13 including GND and AREF. Each of these I/O rows have a dedicated Ground, Voltage, and Signal pin. Analog I/O ports like it's digital counterpart includes analog pins A0 through A5. Each of these analog I/O rows have a dedicated Ground, Voltage, and Signal pin.
There is a six pin break out for Bluetooth and a female header row to accommodate an APC220 Radio Communication Module.
A reset switch is also provided. Interfaces: IIC, servo control port, bluetooth port, SD card slot, APC220 RC module port, ultrasonic sensor port and 12864 S/P port.
Operating Voltage: 5VDC
Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12VDC
Input Voltage (limits): 6-20VDC
External power support
An extremely useful future is that this shield accepts external power for that high power demanding devices like servos and motors. Next to the power input is a jumper that is used to select between internal power (from your Arduino) and external power.

- Digital IO Ports D0-D13
- Analog IO Ports A0-A5

/* TM1637_4_Digit_Display_Basics.ino
The purpose of this sketch is to provide the basic
structure for using the TM1637 based 4-Digit Displays
like the Grove 4 digit display or other equivalents
available through the likes of www.dx.com.
This makes use of the TM1637Display library developed by avishorp.
https://github.com/avishorp/TM1637
This has been developed to run on any Arduino.
Pin assignments are:
TM1637 Display
CLK - D9
DIO - D8
5V or 3.3V supply to Display
GND to Display
The operation is very simple. The sketch initialises the display
and then steps through the loop incrementing the value of a
variable which is then displayed on the 4-Digit display.
Essentially it is the most basic function you would want from
such a display. If you want more sophisticated functionality
then use the example that ships with the library.
*/
#include <TM1637Display.h>
const int CLK = 9; //Set the CLK pin connection to the display
const int DIO = 8; //Set the DIO pin connection to the display
int NumStep = 0; //Variable to interate
TM1637Display display(CLK, DIO); //set up the 4-Digit Display.
void setup()
{
display.setBrightness(0x0f); //set the diplay to maximum brightness
}
void loop()
{
for(NumStep = 0; NumStep <= 9999; NumStep++) //Interrate NumStep
{
display.showNumberDec(NumStep); //Display the Variable value;
// delay(500); //A half second delay between steps.

0.28 inch 0-100V Three Wire DC Voltmeter Red 3-Wire Voltmeter Red Digital LED Display
You can purchase the Three Wire DC Voltmeter Red 3-Wire Voltmeter Red Digital LED Display from Hardware for Hackers.
These little LED voltmeters are the quick and easy way to add voltage readout at various points in your project.
