Easy To Assemble, NO SOLDERING Required!
A Maker's Dream Come True | Control Thousands Of LEDs, Hours Of Music and Much, Much MORE!
Any electronic project you can dream up is really only made up of two different elements.
Inputs & Outputs... Yup... That's it!
But which Inputs & Outputs are the key to allowing you to build the project of your dreams?
Which ones will allow you to learn more about coding?
In a single acronym... L.S.C.M.A!
It stands for Lights, Sound, Motion, Communication & Automation.
Think about it... when you boil down any project, of any complexity, from a simple alarm clock to a Space-X rocket, you need one or more of these elements!
BUT stitching this all together, over and over and over, can be daunting, to say the least.
That's why we created the Dr.Duino Inventor Edition.
It's designed to provide you with a robust platform that you can use over and over on almost any project you can dream up.
From Halloween cosplay, to teaching the fundamentals of coding, the Dr.Duino Inventor Edition has everything you need to build incredible projects; FAST & Easy.
Let's look at each one of these core elements which the Inventor has built right in!
LIGHTS | Control Thousands of LEDs Effortlessly
The Dr.Duino Inventor Edition comes standard with 16 of the most colorful RGB LEDs you've ever laid your eyes on.
Capable of making over 16 million different colors.
You won't want to use anything else.
But what if you wanted to add more to your project?
We've got you covered!
We've got a built-in connector which allows you to easily extend your control to thousands of LEDs.
Provided that you can supply enough external power to the LEDs themselves.
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
SOUND | Give Your Projects A Voice!
Being able to add everything from simple beeps and boops, to hours of music to your project is the stuff dreams are made of.
This used to be complicated, but not with the built-in MP3 player which accepts any standard micro SD card.
(*SD Card Not Included)
Simply drag and drop any MP3 file(s) on to your SD card, pop it into your onboard MP3 player and you’re making music!
Did we mention that there’s a built-in speaker on the bottom of the Inventor?
It's not an ordinary speaker either, it’s a high fidelity 3-WATT, incredibly loud speaker which takes the guess work out of adding audio to your next project.
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
MOTION | Get Your Motor Running!
Sometimes you need more than to just make a sound, or light a LED, you need to physically move something.
Well, that's why your Dr.Duino Inventor has a built-in stepper motor driver.
What you see here is a tiny, but MIGHTY stepper motor driven by its onboard motor driver.
If you need to move something accurately, this is your ticket!
With 2048 steps per 360 degree revolution, making objects you attach to this stepper motor move accurately is a breeze!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
COMMUNICATION | Easily Add Wifi & Bluetooth Control To Your Project
Being able to access a WIFI network via your Dr.Duino Inventor Edition, opens new doors you never even knew were there.
Depending on which package you select, your Inventor Edition will allow you to control it from your phone or any standard internet browser!
Making IOT based projects has never been easier!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
AUTOMATION | Make Your Own Smart Devices
Have you wanted to control a hefty motor, solenoid or other higher voltage type device?
Well... a relay is a perfect solution for that and comes with every Dr.Duino Inventor Edition.
It's optically isolated from your Dr.Duino Inventors power planes which means you can control much higher loads with ease.
Perfect for making internet controlled switches!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
INPUTS | Sense Your Surroundings
Whether you need to monitor for button presses or sense the temperature/humidity around you, being able to literally “feel” your environment is critical to any electronic project.
But these are just two types of inputs.
Some projects require understanding the ambient lighting conditions so that you can make decisions based on the brightness of your surroundings.
Or better yet, be able to sense a voltage level so that you can trigger other outputs.
The Inventor Edition, has all of this thanks to its built-in Switches (1), DHT11 (Temperature/Humidty Sensor)(2), Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)(3) and three 10K Ohm Potentiometers (4).
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
Love Arduino? You'll Love This!
If you've ever used Arduino, you know just how awesome the entire ecosystem is!
That's why the Dr.Duino Inventor Edition works with it!
All code provided (and custom code you can create), is all done within Arduino's familiar Arduino Integrated Developing Environment (IDE).
It's all programmed using standard Arduino C and C++ which means you won't need to learn a new coding language!
Everything you know now will work on the Inventor!!
It all just works!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
ESP32 Compatible | 15X Faster Than An Arduino Uno
Arduino Uno & Nano are based on the ever popular Atmel 328P chip. That was was cutting edge 15+ years ago and runs at a slow 16 Mhz.
Don't get me wrong, it's still has its place, especially when you're first getting started.
But sometimes you just need more.
More speed, more memory, more Inputs/Outputs and just overall more capabilities.
That's why we've chosen the ESP32. Simply put, it's an absolute BEAST of a dual core microcontroller.
Operating at up to 240 MHz, its 15X faster than an uno.
With up to 25 total inputs and outputs, it has more than enough I/O to build anything you can dream up!
That's over 70% more I/Os than a traditional Arduino Uno!!!
It has plenty of memory, which means you can fit massive programs in it without breaking a sweat!
And supports wireless communications which allows you to communicate with it via Wifi or Bluetooth out of the box!!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
No Soldering Required! (Unless You Want To)
Electronics are awesome, but let's be honest, sometimes soldering is just a hassle.
The drduino inventor is designed so you don't need to melt a single drop of solder (Unless you want to).
We say "Unless you want to" because we do give the option to solder in 3 different parts.
Those three parts are the LDR(1), Relay (2) and temperature sensor (3).
But if you don't want to solder, you don't have to!
Just snap or push these components you see here into your Inventor and you're off and running.
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
Infinitely Expandable | This Kit Grows With You!
What if you need to control some other piece of hardware which isn't included in the Dr.Duino Inventor Edition?
We've got you covered in 2 different ways!
First up, the all-familiar built-in breadboard.
This 170 pin high quality breadboard is perfect for rapidly prototyping your idea.
BUT!!! What if you need more?
Well, that's what those sockets (next to the breadboard in red) are for!
Laid out in a familiar Arduino-esq footprint, you can easily add a shield on top of the breadboard, and build more permanent circuits into your Inventor.
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
A DIY Style Kit | What's Included?
This kit comes exactly as you see here as a DIY style kit that you get to assemble.
BUT DON'T worry, you don't need a single drop of solder.
We provide a FUN, highly detailed, interactive, members-ONLY online assembly manual called Dr.Duino's Labs.
Everything you need to build this fun kit is available anywhere you have an internet connection!
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
FUN & Awesome Projects That Just WORK!!!
Most kits out there come with, well.. ummm... BORING demo code and 0 projects.
You know, blink an LED here, make a beep or a boop sound there and that's it.
But at Dr.Duino, we do things differently, VERY DIFFERENTLY!
What you see here is just ONE of our awesome demo projects called Mood Lighting.
It allows you to wirelessly control a GIANT strip of RGB LEDs from your phone or computer!
How giant you ask?
You can easily control two of these strips you see here, which contain 1800 LEDs all over WIFI!
*(LED strip not included)
Easy To Assemble, No Soldering Required!
