SCi-BOX : The Science experiment tool set

SCi-BOX is the Science experiment tool set that contains the microcontroller main board, a wide variety of sensor modules, actuators, outputs with a display device and software tools. They work together to deliver new concepts in science experiments and add programming experiences to develop unique and creative technological scientific projects.

Learn and experiment with various sensors and understand their individual behavior and operations. The SCIBOX runs on the BASIC Stamp2SX microcontroller. Learners can apply all knowledge to develop the new science experiment in different ways.

The SCi-BOX controller board uses the i-Stamp microcontroller. This provides 8-Analog input for 10-bit A/D converter, 4-Relay driver circuit with a contact rating of 220Vac 5A, 2 DC motors and Uni-polar Stepper motor drivers, 7-Digital Input/Output port direct from i-Stamp with limited current resistance, a Piezo speaker and the Interface with a computer via the Serial port. This set also support USB to Serial port converters.
