TELEO STARTER KIT | user guide
	The Teleo Starter Kit includes one Teleo Introductory Module (4 analog Inputs, 2 digital Inputs, 2 digital outputs, 2 PWM outputs), international power supply, USB cable, three "plug & play" devices (a push button assembly, a photocell sensor assembly and a lamp assembly), and a screwdriver for connecting devices. The set also includes access to all requisite software components, which are freely available on this site in our Downloads section. This includes a bundle of externals for use with Cycling 74's Max/MSP, class libraries for use with Macromedia's Flash and a C SDK (Linux, Windows and Mac) for those programmers who want to incorporate Teleo functionality into their own programs.

Teleo Modules Below is detailed product information on our Teleo Modules product line. Where appropriate, there are links to supplementary information found in the Documentation section of the web site, which is also accessible from the menu on the left.
INTRODUCTORY MODULE | user guide
	The Intro Module is the same module included in the Starter Kit. It's a multi function module with 4 analog inputs, 2 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs and 2 PWM outputs. This module also has a USB port and comes with a connector for a power supply. Please note that only one Intro Module can be used in a single Teleo network; comparable I/O capabilities can be found with the Multi I/O Module, listed below.
MULTI I/O MODULE | user guide
	The Multi I/O Module is a basic multi-function module with a selection of inputs and outputs including 4 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs, and 2 PWM outputs.
VIDEO MODULE | user guide
	This Module is designed to permit the attachment of two video sources for the purpose of identifying movement.
ANALOG INPUT MODULE | user guide
	The Teleo Analog In Module is a specialized module designed to provide a Teleo Network with twelve analog inputs. With the Analog In Module you can take various widely available electric devices such as bend sensors, potentiometers and various infrared devices, wire them into the Teleo Analog In and have them available for use inside Max/MSP and the Teleo Application SDK.
DUAL 2 A MOTOR CONTROLLER MODULE | user guide
	This module can control up to two motors with continuous current requirements up to 2A. Each motor has independent current sensing, limit switch and position inputs.
DIGITAL OUTPUT MODULE | user guide
	The Digital Output Module provides up to 12 digital switches for on-off control of lights, motors, relays, etc. with current up to 1A each.
SERVO MODULE | user guide
	A hobby servo is a very compact motion control package. It is controlled by 5v pulses. The position the servo drives to is related to the length of the pulse. The Teleo Servo Module can control up to eight of these servos.
STEPPER MOTOR CONTROLLER MODULE | user guide
	This item has been removed as we are in the process of upgrading it.

Blocks are a family of compatible electronic building blocks that provide the easiest and cheapest possible way to make simple interactive projects. Blocks offer an easy way to interpret and control the behavior of a wide range of electronic devices - sensors (light, motion, temperature, etc.) and actuators (motors, lights, fans, etc.). If you've ever wanted your lamp to turn on when you walk into a room, or a fan to turn on when it gets too hot, Blocks can help connect those devices and control their behavior.

Simple behaviors are created by configuring one or more Poly Blocks which can compare voltages, count, time, add and so on. Blocks communicate by simple electrical signals, which means no computer is required to make exciting, physically interactive projects.

Below is detailed product information on our Teleo Blocks product line . Where appropriate, there are links to supplementary information found in the Blocks Documentation section of the web site. To buy products, please visit our store.

POLY BLOCK | user guide
	The Poly Block provides a simple way to achieve a number of functions without requiring a computer or any programming skills. Functions range from manipulating logic values to complex time bound functions: Sequencer, Combine, Switch, Timer, Counter, Compare, Follower, Adder, Multiplier, inputs, and Multiplexor
SERVO BLOCK | user guide
	The Servo Block permits the simple control of up to four hobby servos. Each servo has an approximately 90 degree operating range which can be controlled by the application of a 0V to 5V signal on the appropriate input.
STEPPER BLOCK | user guide
	The Stepper Block permits the control of one unipolar stepper motor. Stepper motors are often an ideal way to move objects or mechanisms in a controlled way.
LINE BLOCK | user guide
	The Line Block was developed to provide a way to send signals over long distances. It does this by taking the incoming data and encoding it into digital form and sending it along with an address onto the communication lines. Another Line Block connected to the same communication lines and with matching address will decode the digital data and render it onto its output.
SWITCH BLOCK | user guide
	The Switch Block can switch up to four devices that consume substantial currents (up to 10Amps with no cooling). The inputs are expected to be conventional logic level signals - i.e. 0V or 5V. The outputs are switches to 0V. This means that devices that need to be switched are connected on one side to power (+V or 5V depending on the device), and the other side to the Sn output. When an input goes to 5V, the corresponding switch is closed, connecting the corresponding terminal to 0V.
ACCELEROMETER BLOCK | user guide
	The Accelerometer Block provides two analog signals corresponding to the acceleration the block is experiencing in two axes. This sensor can therefore act as a tilt sensor in two directions.
AC SWITCH BLOCK | user guide
	The AC Switch Block allows a conventional signal level to control a much larger AC line. A 5V signal applied to the D0 input will case the two AC terminals to be connected.
BREAKOUT BLOCK | user guide
	The Breakout Block is a very simple device. When connecting multiple devices into another Block it saves having to put 4 x 5V and 4 x 0V wires into a single screw terminal on that other Block.
INPUT BLOCK | user guide
	The Input Block is a simple device that can supply inputs of various kinds to other parts of a project. The Input block can also supply voltages to other blocks to control their operation.
LED BLOCK | user guide
	The LED Block a monitoring and diagnostic tool designed to be directly connected between the output of a Poly Block and some others. This Block permits the easy monitoring of outputs. Signals arriving at the I0 - I3 inputs are transfered directly to the O0 - O3 outputs and a monitoring circuit attached to activate an LED when the input is activated. This monitoring circuit has it's own amplification so there is minimal effect on the values travelling on the data lines.
POTENTIOMETER BLOCK | user guide
	The Potentiometer Block has four potentiometer trimpots which can be used to supply four different voltages to different parts of a project.
POWER CONNECT BLOCK | user guide
	The Power Connect Block is a very simple device. It was designed to solve the problem that occurs in some projects where there are multiple consumers of V+. It was designed so that the actual V+ and 0V source is connected to one of the connectors, then that V+ and 0V are available for easy connection at all the other connectors.
REGULATOR BLOCK | user guide
	The Regulator Block takes +V and 0V and provides a regulated +5V supply at up to 1A of current. This is useful when more current is required than is normally available. This means that the +V and 0V lines should be treated as supplied by something else and the 5V as being an output, providing that voltage for other users.

IMPORTANT MAC OS 9 NOTE
After supporting OS9 for as long as we felt we could, MakingThings has decided to end new development for Max externals under that operating system. The Teleo Intro Module will not be supported under OS9. People who have purchased the Teleo Intro Module and who require OS9 support should contact the company for a work-around.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION
