Assemble and solder your own Brainy-Motor Board (or get pre-assembled, soldered and tested) and program it to control a motorized model or robot, Designed for students by teachers and educators This educational 14pin micro-controller kit is an extremely useful low cost motor controller, which when assembled by soldering, can be used for controlling three motors and is ideally suited for robot work. It is programmed via a PC or Mac computer using the latest Flowol™ 3 software (see below).

There are four outputs, three of which can control DC motors (two with bi-directional control) and an output for an LED or buzzer. There are four digital inputs. When a user has downloaded their program the USB cable is removed for remote autonomous use. Brainy-Motor is designed to easily integrate with working models, such as steerable robots, using the corner holes to fix in place. Users can connect to the input or output connections by soldering or alternatively use screw connectors or quick release connectors.

‘Live debug’ in real time (sometimes called ‘in circuit emulation’ or ICE for short)! The Flowol™ 3 software makes easy testing and set up with its powerful facility to program as normal AND also the ability to directly control the Brainy-Motor Board in real time while testing. Responding to PCB input feedback via the USB cable before the program is finally downloaded for autonomous use and the USB cable is removed. The Brainy-Motor then works independent of the computer and can be taken home as a working project.

Each kit includes the core parts to get going such as: PCB, Resistors, Transistor, Diode, Capacitors, IC Driver Chip, LED, IC Sockets, 6V Battery Holder, 9V Battery Snap, Connector, Cover, Bolts, Spacers and directions. The kit version requires advanced assembly skills and soldering.

Requires 4 ‘AA’ alkaline batteries. Teachers can also supply screws or removable connectors (so the ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’ can be changed without soldering), LEDs, 3- 6V electric motors, switches and soldering equipment.

You will need to purchase Flowol™ 3 software (see below) and at least one download cable (see below) for the classroom.
