The Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2 provides extensive learning outcomes, giving students a strong understanding of basic engineering concepts through fun projects that create a collaborative learning environment. Students are able to connect what they learn with real-world industries, are encouraged to think critically, and improve their depth of knowledge by learning through experimentation. Ideal for advanced high school and college students. The Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2 is a versatile, hands-on learning tool that demonstrates key control systems concepts, core aspects of mechatronics, and MATLAB and Simulink programming. The projects cover the basics of model-based design, control systems, image processing, robotics, signal processing, and more - plus they’re fun to do! The kit includes all the physical components you need, including learning materials and software, to build the three projects: a self-balancing motorcycle, a webcam controlled rover, and a drawing robot. There's online step-by-step guidance, so it's ideal for students working in small groups or for facilitating remote learning. The kit is primarily for three types of users: students learning about mechatronics engineering, professors looking for practical resources to support their class, and makers with an interest or background in robotics, either professionally or as a hobby. Adapting the Kit and Further Experimentation Educators can freely tailor the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2 to their students' needs and their own curriculum. You can use this versatile kit as the core of a new engineering mechatronics class or freely adapt the content to your own ideas and experiments while implementing MATLAB and Simulink, for example as part of laboratories and final projects Opportunity for lots of experimentation for both educators and students. In addition to the three projects, students have the freedom to experiment, design, and develop new solutions using the software and hardware components in the kit, which are some of the tools that are used in industry and help students learn valuable career skills they'll use in the future. Students can also buy the kit and use it to experiment at home and for extended learning. The Kit Includes: Several customized parts, a complete set of electronics, and all the mechanical components needed to assemble each project (a webcam controlled rover, a self-balancing motorcycle, and a drawing robot): Arduino Nano 33 IoT Nano Motor Carrier with IMU and battery charger Three sets of mechanical pieces to assemble the projects Li Ion 18650 battery Two geared motors with encoders DC motor with encoders Servo motor USB cable Two whiteboard markers Two wheels Allen key Webcam Nylon thread Screws, nuts, and bolts A hard plastic, stackable toolbox ideal for storage and years of use A one-year individual license for MATLAB and Simulink Student e-learning platform with step-by-step guidance How is the Arduino Engineering Kit Course Structured? Arduino Engineering Kit course content is divided into six chapters and is designed to be followed sequentially from chapters 1 to 3, which should be used as a reference when needed. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are projects. They can be done in any order but it is recommended to start with chapter 4. Which Languages Does the Online Platform Support? The Arduino Engineering e-platform is currently available in English. More languages, including Spanish and German will be added soon! Is this Kit Suitable for Distance Learning? Yes, the new kit allows for individual use and on site use. Students can have access to the MathWorks tools either via their campus license or the free trial version included in the kit. The online educational platform and content can be accessed from wherever the students are as long as they have internet connection. The kit also includes all the hardware the students will need for the lessons and projects. What Engineering Concepts are Covered? The kit covers an introduction to: Mechatronics: DC motors, servos, encoders, motor drivers, PWM signals etc Model based design Control theory: PD control Image and signal processing Data visualization and analysis Applied physics and mathematics Text based programming with MATLAB Visual programming with Simulink. What Projects are Included in the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2? Self-balancing motorcycle: Design a control system to keep this motorcycle upright using a flywheel for balance. Webcam controlled rover: Build and program a rover that can navigate between given reference points using a camera to locate its position and move objects with a forklift mechanism Drawing robot: Build and program a robot that can duplicate any drawing it’s given on a whiteboard What Operating System is Required? Windows 7 or higher, Linux, and Mac OS (including catalina).
