Choose from built-in sensors such as Microphone, Temperature, Battery, and various Touch or Gesture Sensors.
Customise the frequency for data readings, ensuring your measurements align with your experiment’s needs.
Monitor real-time data with dynamic plotting, keeping you informed with every reading.
Configure external accessories using available Digital and Analog ports, which differ based on the kit in use.
Visualise your data with Line or Bar Graphs to spot trends or analyse patterns effortlessly.
This adaptive mode ensures every kit delivers a unique data experience, empowering users to experiment, track performance, and visualise results — all with just a few taps.
Use the phone's camera, mic, or Bluetooth remote to send inputs and trigger actions.
For example, if the camera detects an object (like a backpack), display a message or send a command to the kit.
Configure the remote to send numbers or commands to the kit for dynamic, hands-on control.
The phone seamlessly integrates with the hardware, ensuring all features are relevant to the connected kit.
What Makes Visual Programming Different?
Quickly connect sensors, motors, and other accessories to hardware ports using the visual interface—no code required.
See results instantly by interacting with the hardware as you build, modify, and experiment.
