A new e-learning platform has been created by Makeblock in the form of Neuron, which uses 30 different types of tiles to allow users to add different functions to their projects with ease, using a modular system.
The Neuron electronic platform comes with its own application, which provides easy-to-use Flow-Based programming, which when combined with electronic building blocks provides a system that offers projects for all levels of programming.
gadgets software independent. You can play Neuron gadgets with/without the software i.e. in online/offline mode. In offline mode, you can create a gadget to activate a servo function using an ultrasonic sensor. In online mode, in combination with the company's Neuron App, a gadget can be programmed for complex movements for the servo function and control its movement remotely. There are endless ways to Plug & Play!
Makeblock Neuron Output boards include lighting boards such as EL wires, LED strips, RGB LEDs and LED panels. This fashionable garment is made of 8 LED strips, the wings are made of 8 EL wires and a button. Different lighting effects can be achieved by programming through the Neuron App.
For more information on all the different modules, including the components, Output boards, Input boards, Control and Power boards, and Communication boards, visit the Kickstarter crowdfunding website. The kit is now available for donations, starting at just $49, and is expected to ship in June 2017.
