SparkFun Digital Sandbox

$49.95

Learning Platform for Hardware and Software

Think of this as the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit all in one board! The Digital Sandbox (DS) is a learning platform that engages both the software and hardware worlds. It’s powered by a microcontroller that can interact with real-world inputs – like light or temperature sensors – while simultaneously controlling LEDs, motors, and other outputs.

  • Equipped with everything, on board, you will need to complete 13 experiments/projects
  • Gives students the opportunity to control an LED, measure how loud things are, detect what the temperature is, and more
  • Connects easily with your computer with a USB (included) for programming
  • Provides online guide with step-by-step instructions and full sample code
  • Enables students to program all the experiments with a simple graphical interface instead of writing code
  • Does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 8 and up.

Note: There are three additional circuit experiments included in the DS Guide that will require the Digital Sandbox Add-On pack.

Recommend one kit for every two students.
