The Robotics with the Boe-Bot text includes 41 new activities for the Boe-Bot Robot with structured PBASIC 2.5 source code support and bonus challenges with solutions in each chapter. Starting with basic movement and proceeding to sensor-based projects, the Boe-Bot is expandable for many different robotic projects. You quickly learn about embedded projects, from wiring and components to programming and mechanical dependencies. The kit includes a set of passive components (wires, resistors, capacitors), sensors (photoresistors, bumpers, infrared sensors) and hardware (whisker touch-sensor kit) to complete the different projects. No previous robotics, electronics or programming experience is necessary!

The Boe-Bot Robot takes about 1-2 hours to put together. Completing the entire set of projects takes 50 hours and is suitable for anybody over 12 years of age. The USB Board of Education (and BS2-IC) may also be removed to be used as your platform for the other kits in the Stamps in Class series.

After mastering the basics, use your skills on one of these projects:

The What’s a Microcontroller? text answers the question, “What’s a Microcontroller?” by showing students how they can design their own customized, intelligent inventions using the BASIC Stamp® module. It incorporates a variety of fun and engaging experiments that appeal to the imagination using motion, light, and sound. The activities are designed to introduce many basic principles in the fields of computer programming, electricity and electronics, mathematics and physics. The text is designed to accommodate a wide range of ages and skill levels.

Includes:

A Board of Education (BOE) and BStamp or the Basic Stamp 2 Carrier Board and the BStamp is required to use this product.

All oscilloscope controls are managed through one of two software interface platforms. Both platforms include classic scope features such as Auto and Normal trigger modes, variable trigger voltage, external triggering, and auto-measurements (Min, Max, Frequency, Period). Three easy-to-use cursor functions to measure acquired signals manually, with the option to snap to the waveform. Each platform also allows you to save customized setups, and to export data and bitmaps for analysis and inclusion in reports.

Software Versions and System Requirements:
*Version 4.0, which operates on Windows 2K/XP, is compatible with the Understanding Signals v1.0/v1.0a Stamps in Class text.
*Version 5.1, which runs on Windows XP/Vista, does not support the Understanding Signals text.
