INTRODUCTION
Educational robotics kit designed to get you started in the world of electronics. It is com-
posed of different components that are set on a base. With it you can make a variety of
electronic projects for all levels. For example: make an alarm that is activated depending on
the quantity of light received, make a potentiometer to control a servomotor position or to
control a LED brightness.
The board included in the Mini Lab is the Build&Code 4in1 board which is based on Arduino
technology, it features built-in Bluetooth 2.0 technology, and it can control DC motors, ser-
vomotors, sensors and actuators without the need to add specific sensors-shields or mo-
tor-shields.
Because Build&Code 4in1 is based on Arduino technology, any project developed for the
Arduino platform is compatible with Mini Lab and vice versa. You can download any Arduino
project and use it on the Mini Lab. You can also access the Arduino forums and communities
to get help and solve any issues.
Build&Code is an open source platform, this means that you can find many free tutorials and
exercises to learn how to use the Mini Lab components. Because it is compatible with Arduino,
it is also compatible with the free visual programming by blocks compatible software, which
has a friendly interface that it is easier to use for beginners.
This product is designed for anyone who is interested in robotics and programming. It is an
ideal kit for schools that teach in the STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and
Math).
