BOT115 - Picaxe Create Starter Pack

BOT115 - Picaxe Create Starter Pack

Description

The PICAXE Create System is based around a PICAXE-18M2 Motherboard and various input/output modules which connect to the motherboard using patented "micro-bric" connectors. These connectors, tightened and loosened with the supplied Allen key, are used to connect the various input/output modules to the 13 available motherboard connectors. When the bolts are tightened the plastic bricks create both a strong mechanical and electrical joint, so that various circuit configurations can easily be built and adjusted by just swapping modules around - no soldering required to reconfigure the system!

Once the input/output modules have been configured as desired the motherboard can be programmed via any software that supports the PICAXE system such as Programming Editor or Logicator.

The starter pack contains:

· PICAXE-18M2 Motherboard

· Microbric connectors and Allen Key

· Touch sensor input

· Push switch input

· Slide switch input

· DS18B20 Temperature Sensor input

· LDR input

· Infra-red Input

· Terminal block generic connector

· Infra-red output

· Piezo output

· LED output

· Darlington transistor output (e.g. for buzzer)

· L293D reversible motor driver output

· Servo Output connector (Servo to be purchased separately)

· SRF005 Ultrasonic Range Finder connector (SRF005 to be purchased separately)

· Serial LCD connector (LCD or OLED to be purchased separately)

TheThe motherboard is supplied fully assembled; the input/output modules require soldering before first use. Once initially assembled (by the teacher) the students do not need to do any soldering to assemble, disassemble or reconfigure the system - all changes are made using the supplied Allen key.

All modules are also fully compatible with the Microrobot, which uses the same microbric connectors. Naturally input/output modules can also be shared between multiple systems.

Features

· Microbric connectors between each module - allowing them to be mixed and matched

· L293D reversible motor driver

· Serial LCD connector

· PICAXE 18 M2 microcontroller

· Well documented examples
