BETT AWARDS 2020 WINNER! The Arduino Engineering Kit brings together the power of the Arduino MKR1000 with MATLAB and Simulink.
The kit is intended for students, educators and makers who want to learn and/or teach the more advanced concepts in engineering. The kit covers system modelling, controls, image processing, robotics, signal processing, among many others. Concepts are not covered at an advanced level.
The Arduino Engineering Kit includes three cutting-edge Arduino-based projects so that students can learn fundamental engineering concepts, key aspects of mechatronics, and MATLAB and Simulink programming. These projects will challenge them intellectually and help them develop physical engineering skills — and they're also fun to do.
Self-Balancing MotorcycleThis motorcycle will manoeuvre on its own on various terrains and remain upright using a flywheel for balance. It's very exciting to build and to see in action.
Mobile RoverThis vehicle can navigate between given reference points, move objects with a forklift and much more. It's very fun to make and use.
Whiteboard Drawing RobotThis amazing robot can be given any drawing and duplicate it on a whiteboard. It's most impressive.
The Arduino Engineering Kit is built on its own education Learning Management System (LMS) with step-by-step instructions and lessons.
The content of this kit is divided into six chapters, featuring a short introduction, a getting-started guide for the tools that will be used, a concepts section, and finally the projects themselves. Users will receive access to the online platform for one year and can purchase additional licenses to extend platform access.
Learning objectives include, but are not limited to the following:
MATLAB and Simulink basics
Connect MATLAB and Simulink to the Arduino MKR1000 and read/write data from connected sensors (encoders, IMU, hall sensor) and actuators (DC motors, servo motor)
Analyze and visualize data from Arduino
Apply custom algorithms for complex math operations, image processing, and PID control
Model and simulate behaviour of dynamic systems in Simulink
Incorporate logic-based algorithms that define system behavior for different "states" (e.g. move forward, turn, stop)
Build and run a working Arduino application from a Simulink model
Tune and optimize Simulink model parameters as the application is running on
Download the completed Simulink model for standalone execution on the Arduino
The online platform will help students learn fundamental engineering concepts, key aspects of mechatronics, and MATLAB and Simulink programming.
The kit comes in a super-sturdy hard plastic, stackable box that will provide years of storage and reuse. Inside the box is an easy-to-use Arduino MKR1000 board, several customised parts, and a complete set of electrical and mechanical components needed to assemble all three projects.
In addition to the state-of-the-art, high-quality, open-source hardware provided, after registering online, the student will have access to a dedicated e-learning platform and other learning materials. Additionally, they are granted a one-year individual license for MATLAB and Simulink. This provides them with hands-on experience in system modelling and embedded algorithm development.
- Based on the Arduino MKR1000 SBC
- Includes motor shield and IMU shield
