Component Name

Glue Stick (Yellow)

Category

Adhesives and Fasteners

Description

The Glue Stick (Yellow) is a type of hot melt adhesive used in various IoT applications, particularly in prototyping, DIY projects, and electronics assembly. This component provides a strong and reliable bond between different materials, including plastics, metals, and wood.

Functionality

The primary function of the Glue Stick (Yellow) is to create a strong and durable bond between two surfaces. When heated to a high temperature, the glue stick melts and forms a viscous liquid that can be applied to the desired surfaces. As it cools, the glue solidifies, creating a strong and permanent bond.

Pin Configuration

  • Glue Stick (Yellow) Component Documentation
  • The Glue Stick (Yellow) is a popular IoT component used for prototyping and proof-of-concept projects. Despite its simplicity, it's essential to understand the pinout and connection guidelines to ensure proper usage and integration with other components.
  • Pinout and Connections:
  • The Glue Stick (Yellow) has a total of 3 pins, which are labeled and explained below:
  • 1. VCC (Power) Pin
  • Function: Supply voltage to the component
  • Recommended voltage: 3.3V to 5V
  • Connection: Connect to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery or a voltage regulator output.
  • 2. GND (Ground) Pin
  • Function: Ground reference point for the component
  • Connection: Connect to the negative terminal of a power source, such as a battery or a voltage regulator output.
  • 3. SIG (Signal) Pin
  • Function: Output signal from the component (not applicable in this case, as the Glue Stick is a passive component)
  • Connection: Not applicable, as this pin is not used in the Glue Stick (Yellow) component.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To properly connect the Glue Stick (Yellow) component:
  • Connect the VCC pin to a power source (e.g., a battery or a voltage regulator output) using a jumper wire or a PCB trace.
  • Connect the GND pin to the negative terminal of the power source (e.g., a battery negative terminal or a voltage regulator output) using a jumper wire or a PCB trace.
  • Leave the SIG pin unconnected, as it's not used in this component.

Overview
The Glue Stick (Yellow) is a type of adhesive component used to bond various materials in IoT projects. This yellow-colored glue stick is particularly suitable for bonding plastics, woods, and other materials commonly used in DIY and prototyping applications.
Technical Specifications
Color: Yellow
 Adhesive Type: Acrylic-based
 Bonding Temperature: 100C - 150C
 Curing Time: 10 - 30 minutes
 Material Compatibility: Plastics, Wood, Paper, Fabric, and others
Code Examples
### Example 1: Using the Glue Stick in a Simple Robotics Project (Arduino)
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Glue Stick to bond a small plastic wheel to a motor shaft in a simple robotics project.
Hardware Requirements:
1 x Arduino Board
 1 x DC Motor
 1 x Plastic Wheel
 1 x Glue Stick (Yellow)
 Jumper Wires
Software Requirements:
Arduino IDE
Code:
```c
// Define motor pin connections
const int motorPin1 = 9;
const int motorPin2 = 10;
void setup() {
  // Initialize motor pins as outputs
  pinMode(motorPin1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motorPin2, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Rotate the motor clockwise
  digitalWrite(motorPin1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(motorPin2, LOW);
  delay(1000);
  
  // Rotate the motor counterclockwise
  digitalWrite(motorPin1, LOW);
  digitalWrite(motorPin2, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
}
```
Assembly Steps:
1. Apply a small amount of the Glue Stick (Yellow) to the motor shaft.
2. Carefully attach the plastic wheel to the motor shaft, ensuring proper alignment.
3. Hold the wheel in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
4. Let the assembly cure for 10-30 minutes, depending on the environment.
### Example 2: Using the Glue Stick in a Wearable Project (Micro:bit)
In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Glue Stick to bond a small fabric patch to a Micro:bit-based wearable device.
Hardware Requirements:
1 x Micro:bit Board
 1 x Fabric Patch
 1 x Glue Stick (Yellow)
 Jumper Wires
Software Requirements:
Micro:bit IDE
Code:
```python
from microbit import
while True:
    # Read accelerometer data
    x, y, z = accelerometer.get_values()
    
    # Display accelerometer data on the Micro:bit screen
    display.scroll(x, y, z)
```
Assembly Steps:
1. Apply a small amount of the Glue Stick (Yellow) to the back of the fabric patch.
2. Carefully attach the fabric patch to the Micro:bit board, ensuring proper alignment.
3. Hold the patch in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
4. Let the assembly cure for 10-30 minutes, depending on the environment.
