Description
Meet databot™ – one tiny brilliant cube packed with high-tech, science exploration fun. Databot™ fits in the palm of your hand, collects information from 11 included sensors that measure motion, temperature, altitude, velocity and so much more! The data is streamed instantly to provide engaging experiments in science, coding, and technology in every learning environment imaginable! The databot™ kit includes everything you need to get started – just add a computer or tablet!
Databot even comes with a soft case for storage and transportation, external temperature probe, 8GB MicroSD card to capture mountains of data, USB Micro SD card reader, and other accessories. See complete specs below on sensors, materials, and supported devices!
databotâ„¢ comes complete with everything you need to start exploring the hidden world of data immediately!
See Tech Specs and Deep Geek for more in-depth information on databotâ„¢ and what you can do with it! You are limited only by your imagination!
With only a few clicks for each of the following steps you can be up and running, gathering and displaying data for exploration.
.
Once you’ve installed your software, simply select the program you want databot™ to run! Databot™ will begin collecting data for you to visualize and explore. Stream data wirelessly in real-time to see exactly what is happening from second to second, or collect and store on the internal SD card to open later or explore in your own software! Visualize your every movement, breath, and sound instantly!
databotâ„¢ is pure Arduino based fun. There are many ways to talk to databotâ„¢ using standard Arduino tools, check them out:
This is the standard software you will need to download programs to databotâ„¢ and conduct data capture and visualization activities. The software is free and runs on the following platforms:
Speaker for Sound Output
Code databotâ„¢ to squeak, beep and chirp based on data it receives.
Programmable Display LEDs
Create interactive light displays or use the pre-built programs to light up databotâ„¢ in exciting ways!
SD Card Writer
Log data. You are limited only by the size of your SD card to the data you want to capture!
Mini USB Connection
Charge and program. Simple and efficient – one databot™, one cable.
Bluetooth
Wireless transmission of live data using BLE. Visualize real data in real-time on the big screen in the front of the classroom. Play catch with databotâ„¢ and watch the numbers!
Rechargeable Battery
250 mAh LiPo battery built in. No batteries to purchase, no extra expenses, no hassle. Just pure databotâ„¢ fun!
Temperature Probe
Connect an external temperature probe via 2.5mm stereo jack input. Plug in the included waterproof temperature probe to instantly gain access to live data for chemistry, life science, and environmental studies.
External Analog & Digital Sensors
databotâ„¢ LOVES data. The more sensors the merrier so we added this simple 2.5 mm stereo jack input port for connecting additional analog or digital sensors.
I2C Sensors
Did we say databotâ„¢ LOVES data? I2C enables databot to daisy chain hundreds of additional sensors via a 3.5mm stereo jack input.
Robot Connections
Built-in case connections for LEGO® and fischertechnik® elements. Connect databot™ to your favorite robot and start running data collection missions!
Detachable Baseplate
Also included is a plate for adding a Velcro attachment that enables databotâ„¢ to hitch a ride on drones, cars, hot air balloons, bikes, skateboards, pogo sticks and so much more!
