The robot arm looks incredible and is a cool toy as well as an educational tool.

By the end of this project you’ll understand everything you need to know to modify your robotic arm, and even start coming up with your own inventions.

What’s included?

• Our bespoke Hornet board, a circuitboard specifically designed for robotics
• 5 Servo motors
• AA battery pack (batteries not included)
• 3D design files to print and manipulate
• Hours of video tutorials
• Our MakerClub mobile app for Android and iOS

Minimum requirements

For the best experience you will need a laptop and a smart phone with Android or iOS

The Touch Board allows you to connect almost any material, object or space to the digital world. Use the Touch Board to change the world around you. Paint a light switch on your wall, print a paper piano or do something that no one has thought of yet.

The Touch Board features a row of electrodes that allow users to create 12 unique sensors with any conductive material, including Electric Paint. The board comes pre-programmed to play an audio guide which takes you through board features and setup. No technical ability is required to get started. Putting your own sounds on the Touch Board is as easy as dragging MP3 files onto the microSD card.

The Touch Board is an Arduino at heart, which means its easy to program and can be customised with shields. With a simple code change the Touch Board can enable a range of sophisticated applications: play a MIDI note, create distance sensors, control motors and relays, write data to the microSD card, talk to the cloud. The possibilities are endless. Put simply, the Touch Board can do anything that an Arduino can, and more!

The Touch Board was designed to work with Electric Paint as a way to turn anything into an interface, making them an incredible platform for innovation. Electric Paint is a non-toxic electrically conductive material which is as simple to use as poster paint, and dries in under 15 minutes to become conductive.

As with all of our products, we work hard to make the Touch Board accessible to the widest possible set of users, from electrical novices to expert engineers. Our Make page provides users with step-by-step tutorials and example projects, encouraging them to expand their knowledge and build on their ideas. We take new users through every step, from unboxing and listening to the Audio Guide to setting up the board with Arduino.

The Touch Board and Electric Paint are an essential part of every Maker’s toolbox, every educator’s top drawer and every engineer’s lab.

Electric Paint, is a non-toxic electrically conductive material which is as simple to use as poster paint and dries in under 15 minutes to become conductive. It contains no metals, solvents or irritants, and can be screen printed, sprayed or brushed. Electric Paint is suitable for application on a wide range of materials from fabric to wood to paper. Whether in a 50ml jar or 10ml tube format, Electric Paint is an excellent tool for novices and professionals to prototype and experiment with electronics.

Electric Paint has a number of unique properties and applications, but its key functions can be summarised in three points: Electric Paint is like a liquid wire, it can act as a conductive adhesive and it can be used as a capacitive sensor.

This combination of properties serves a unique set of applications and makes it a perfect prototyping tool. Whether used to paint circuits or cold solder components onto paper, this material is a quick and safe addition to your toolbox.

What’s the big deal?

In this set, you’ll get the MakerClub Hornet ™ micro-controller along with 37 different sensors and outputs. Whether you want to start automating your home, creating your own wearable technology or just building great robots, this is for you. If you’re still new to all this, we recommend doing one of our courses first (these come with a Hornet board). Access to our browser based development environment and mobile app is included in the price.

What’s the big deal?

We’ve developed a microcontroller that works great for the beginner and professional user. It’s Arduino compatible, has Bluetooth™ onboard, enables the control of up to 18 servos (so you can build a Hexapod walker!) and works with our MakerClub mobile app, so you can control your creations wirelessly.

To realize complicated models the Ultimaker 2+ performs difficult 3D printing tasks with ease. Thanks to extensive research and development, it excels at bridging, overhangs and accurate details to realize prints of all shapes and sizes.

ULTIMAKER 2+ – ENRICHED BY OUR GLOBAL OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY

Geared feeder for increased reliability – The innovative feeder allows you to easily swap filament and choose the correct pressure for your filament.

Swappable nozzle for greater control – Easily switch between 0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm nozzles for greater detail or faster print speed.

Optimized airflow for smoother prints – The new fancaps ensure the airflow is aimed perfectly below the nozzle and equally from both sides.
