Introducing... Electromaker Kits!
We're extraordinarily excited to unveil Electromaker Kits! To start, we'll have three kits, a disco helmet, GPS tracker, and mood lamp. These easy-to-build do-it-yourself (DIY) products make 3D printing and using microcontrollers. Plus, you'll benefit from an awesome, functional product rather than merely another miniature for your desk or shelf.
Projects like our DIY disco helmet kit combine 3D printing and electronics tinkering. Electromaker Kits provide a comprehensive solution that includes virtually everything you'll need, from video tutorials to electronic components and 3D printing STL files. Since our kits use popular off-the-shelf components such as Arduino boards, they're easy to understand as well as customizable. We've got kits for all skill levels. Plus, when ordering a kit, you can remove any components from the kit that you already own for additional savings.
DIY Disco Helmet Kit
First up, there's our DIY disco helmet kit. Just 3D print the helmet shell parts, glue them together, wire up the Arduino Nano, perform a bit of soldering to connect the Adafruit Neopixels, and you've got a rad disco helmet. Not only do we send you the 3D printable files, microcontroller and wires, plus Neopixels, but we even include code for a selection of different flashing light patterns. Because it's Arduino-based, you can even come up with your own creative customizations. Overall, it's a great introduction to 3D printing, DIY electronics, and basic soldering.
- Arduino Nano-compatible
- Adafruit NeoPixels lights
- Pushbutton operation
- Battery-powered
- Simple soldering required
- 3D printable pieces, minimum 220x220x200mm print bed
- Several light display patterns
3D Printable GPS Tracker
Next up, there's a 3D printable GPS tracker kit. This awesome, useful device lets you track your location using the Google Maps API. Inside, you'll find a TinyCircuits board (included in the kit). Just print out the parts, slip the TinyCircuits board inside, and upload the pre-written code that we provide. Then, you've got a nifty GPS tracker to accompany you on your next hike. Plus, we've got a slew of 3D printable accessories such as a belt clip and strap for hooking your tracker on a bag. You don't even need to solder.
- Solder-less design
- TinyCircuits-powered
- Uses Google Maps API
- 3D-printable
LED Mood Lamp
What better way to set the mood than with an Arduino-powered LED mood lamp? Featuring interchangeable pieces such as steps and shades, it's an extremely customizable project. Like our disco helmet, the DIY 3D printable mood lamp is controlled by an Arduino Nano, uses Adafruit Neopixels for its light source, and features a push-button for cycling through various light sequences.
- Arduino Nano-powered
- 3D-printable
- Adafruit NeoPixels lights
- Simple soldering required
- Pushbutton operation
- Several light display patterns
