EASY CONNECT KIT - Project Learning with electronic brick modules

This robust kit solves the usual problem (especially in classrooms) of getting the right connections and having them stay secure. The Easy Connect microcomputer is Arduino UNO compatible but has keyed connectors that work with cables that connect the many Physical Computing Sensor and Actuator modules in the kit. This gives a strong introduction to the World of Physical Computing that creates automatic systems, Mars Rovers, Self-driving cars and more.

There are about 50 different available brick modules available including higher-level functions, motors, environmental and gas sensors, etc.

Coding is done with drag-and-drop blocks in a system much like SCRATCH that works with PC or MAC.

Makerspace Microcomputer Engineering Kit

This kit is designed for Workshops to learn about Arduino, Sensors, Actuators, Coding and Design. This YourDuino Kit is often used in MakerSpaces, Schools and University Engineering courses. It is also suitable for personal use by people who want to learn a lot about designing things with Arduino. This is a well-established kit and we have made several hundred of these for schools and universities.

Basic Robot Kit

The Basic Robot Kit contains all the parts you need to create a simple robot that can look around with its ultrasonic sensor and avoid other objects. You can also program your own Robot Moves.

We have made hundreds of this kit for many schools and universities.
The kit includes:

Robot chassis with:
- 2 Good quality DC gear motors
- 2 Large plastic wheels
- 1 Rotating caster wheel

YourDuino RoboRed Arduino compatible microcomputer board
USB Cable for programming
2 Amp Motor Driver board with heat sink
Battery pack for 6 AA batteries
Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
Small servo motor for sensor scanning
Rainbow Cable and Pin Strips to make easy connections

Physical Computing / Robot Kit

PHYSICAL COMPUTING is quite different than using personal computers where the only physical inputs are the Mouse and Keyboard. It creates the world of Mars Rovers, Robots, Self-Driving Cars, Home Automation and the Internet Of THINGS.

It is challenging to teach and learn about Physical Computing. This kit is intended for serious study over a period of time, probably by persons of high school or university age. It includes all the parts to build a significant robot vehicle which can do complex tasks like collision avoidance, line following, and remote control by handheld Infrared Remote and by an App that can be downloaded for both Apple and Android smartphones.

There will be a significant online educational how-to and coding support for this kit (under construction now, January 2021). Check the URL below for updates. Coding will be explained for the modules in the kit, and Robot examples. Drag-Drop coding similar to SCRATCH (for both PC and MAC) is provided, with customized modules aligned with the parts in the kit. That software also provides a quick click to see the generated Arduino C++ code, which is ideal for teaching serious coding in the Arduino IDE environment.

KidsBits - Project Learning with lego brick compatible modules

This robust kit solves the usual problem (especially in classrooms) of getting the right connections and having them stay secure. The ABS plastic cased microcomputer is Arduino UNO compatible but has keyed connectors that work with cables that connect the many Physical Computing Sensor and Actuator modules in the kit. This gives a strong introduction to the World of Physical Computing that creates automatic systems, Mars Rovers, Self-driving cars and more.

This kit is similar to the Easy Connect Kit (above) however the "electronic bricks" are different and lego-compatible The modules have a base that is compatible with lego brick blocks so that many creative projects may be built with those familiar bricks and then become alive and interactive. There are about 50 different available brick modules available including higher-level functions, motors, environmental and gas sensors, etc.
