Have you heard about the Elektor MultiCalculator? We posted about it a few weeks ago, but there’s more! In this week’s video, watch an unboxing of the kit, discover the assembly process and a demonstration of some of the features. The Elektor MultiCalculator Kit, an Arduino-based device offering 22 different features in one compact package, is very versatile. This video provides a detailed look at the kit, where you'll see all the essential components, including the main PCB, an Arduino Pro Mini, an acrylic enclosure as well as all the required cables, screws and hardware.
The video guides you through the step-by-step assembly process, beginning with soldering components, creating required solder bridges on dedicated pads for configuration of I²C, etc. This is of course one of the ways to enjoy a kit: the building process! Once that’s out of the way, the video continues with a demo of some of the calculator modes.
From basic calculations to advanced functions, this device handles many tasks. Discover how to use conversion functions such as decimal-to-hexadecimal, electrical calculations like capacitor and inductor reactance, series and parallel resistor calculations, etc. It even offers practical tools like a stopwatch, item counter, and light measurement using an LDR sensor. Let’s not forget the temperature measurement mode with internal and external sensors! In short, the video demonstrates how to make the most of this versatile tool. The Elektor MultiCalculator kit is a must-have for anyone involved in electronics, from students to professionals. It’s both a great addition to your electronics toolkit and a nice collector’s item for Elektor fans. Watch the video below and check out the MultiCalculator in the Elektor Store.
