CamJam EduKit (CamJam EduKit)

The CamJam EduKit is your way into the world of building electronic circuits and programming the Raspberry Pi in Python.

The CamJam EduKit features the following components all neatly packaged in a tin:

• A 400pt breadboard

• 3 LEDs (Red, Yellow and Green)

• A button

• A buzzer

• Resistors and jumper cables

The kit is accompanied by a set of downloadable worksheets that will take you through a series of exercises from writing a simple program in the Python programming language to lighting up LEDs, reading button presses and making a buzzer go beep! Whereas other products come pre-assembled, the CamJam EduKit introduces you to the world of breadboarding and building electronic circuits yourself, which we think is much more exciting!

All the worksheets are freely available to download from http://camjam.me/edukit

The CamJam EduKit is a joint venture between The Pi Hut and the Cambridge Raspberry Jam (CamJam). Profits from the sale of the kit will go to CamJam so that they can continue their educational and community work.

CamJam EduKit 3 - Robotics (CamJam EduKit 3 Robotics)

The third in the series is here! The CamJam EduKit #3 is focused on robotics and contains (almost) everything you need to create your very own Raspberry Pi-powered robot.

All you need to do is to add your own chassis, Raspberry Pi (any model) & batteries! Then, follow the worksheets to make your own motorized buggy. Add the included sensors and you will soon be detecting objects in front of your robot and following line courses. Included in the kit are the following components:

A custom-designed, pre-soldered motor controller board (with screw terminals)
Two DC motors (with wires pre-soldered)
Two custom red wheels (which go extra fast… because they’re red!)
A ball castor (used as the ‘third wheel’ to your robot)
A small breadboard (to create your circuits)
Two pieces of strong 3M padded double-sided tape
A battery box for 4 AA batteries (batteries not included)
An ultrasonic distance sensor (for detecting objects in front of your robot)
A line follower sensor (for detecting and following black lines)
Resistors and jumper cables with which to complete your circuits
A strong cardboard box to keep it all in… or to cut into to make your chassis!

All the worksheets are freely available to download from http://camjam.me/edukit

Got a 3D printer? Daniel Bull has very kindly designed an awesome chassis, available from Thingiverse ..
