HaloCode Standard Kit
Sample Project Guide

Create with alligator clips
The metal parts on the ends of the alligator clips
conduct electricity. Using the touch sensor and
the conductive copper foil tapes, you can easily
create engaging projects, like a HaloCode palette.
What's even better is that HaloCode can also
interact with the mBlock 5 stage.
Now let's make a simple project using
HaloCode. In this project, you'll learn how to use
the alligator clips to create a project.
With the cardboard inside the package and the
copper foil tapes, the LEDs can illuminate the
corresponding color when you touch a specific
alligator clip.

DO NOT use an alligator clip to connect the 3.3V pin to the GND pin, otherwise a short
circuit might happen and HaloCode might be damaged.
Attach the red alligator clip to the
touch sensor 0.
Attach the yellow, blue and green alligator
clips to touch sensor 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
2 Attach the alligator clips.

Tailor the cardboard inside the package and fold it as shown.
Attach copper foil tapes to the cardboard. Remove the protective films on the
copper foil tapes.
*The protective film is used to protect the
tape from oxidation.
*The copper foil tapes are conductive on both sides.
Attaching the alligator clips to the tapes can expand
the conductive area.

Attach the other end of the alligator clips to the copper foil tapes.

3 Connect HaloCode to a computer with the Micro USB cable.
4 Start coding.
Note: Check Quick Start Guide to see detailed instructions on using mBlock.

Completed!
Touch the metal part of the red alligator clip or the copper foil tape to see whether the LEDs turn red.
Now you know how to use the alligator clips. Use your imagination to create more fun projects.
