Just tasted HelloBot and it works. They are very similar.

Moving on to the next kit, this uses the same circuit as BitBot smart car. So it will just work!!

Tested the Lego like kit that included a circuit called SuperBit. Also works as expected. But I noted that the power supply oscillates sometimes! Needs further investigation!

Tues is a great kit to help you teach IoT and physical computing. You know that WiFi and cloud are included right?

Do you love LEDs? I know you do!

Here is the code

var neo = new GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Drivers.Neopixel.WS2812.WS2812(FEZBit.GpioPin.EdgeP0,25);
for(var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
    neo.SetColor(i, i * 10, 0, 255 - i * 10);
    neo.Draw();
    Thread.Sleep(50);
}

While there are 3 large pads on FEZ Bit to connect crocodile wire, this house board exposes all 20 pins for easy access. The kit contains all kind of sensors!!

It even includes motors and some lego-style blocks.

That board standing straight up on that tank like that makes me very nervous… One flip of the tank and it’ll be dead. Any protective support?

It is Lego, meaning you have the option to build whatever you like.

Tested dfrobot MaxBot. Those motors work as full rotation servos on pins that so not support pwm. I started using software pwm and then realized we do but have three needed feature yet. I have put in a request for it.

Ah, I see. I thought that was a carrier board you made. Cool.

Tomorrow, Gus will present a nuclear powerplant based on this board ! :wink:
How many kit have you ? Is it Christmas ? :rofl:

Those are only a couple I grabbed from the office since we are working from home. We have many more at the office :nerd_face:

I thought that was already a standard internal feature of every TinyCLR chip. No?
