These resources are a great place to expand your skills. Perfect for those who have completed the No-Code Programming for Biology Course or those with other experience of programming and using hardware.
Information about the 2019/2020 Biomaker starter kit (MKII - now called the expansion kit) based on the Arduino Rich Uno R3 board and Open Smart components.
A list of tutorials designed to get you started with the Biomaker expansion kit (previously the MKII starter kit).
Information about the 2018 Biomaker starter kit (MKI) based on the Gtronics Protoshield Plus.
Some useful information about additional hardware and building blocks that can be added to the beginner’s kit, or used when building biological instrumentation.
Information about the 4D Systems touch screen interface and how to use it in your bioinstrumentation projects.
Information on a rage of useful multifunction shields that allow you you expand the capacity of your board without wiring.
Information on some useful I2C devices, how to set them up and use them.
An introduction to how to use Arduino boards for robotics, including the use of actuators. Uses the mBot robot as an example.
Overview of the different hardware surveyed by the Biomaker team and our partners. Useful information about the different options when picking a development board and expansion modules.
Information about how to document your projects using Hackster, and add them to the Biomaker Hackster Hub.
Tutorial guide that takes you through how to convert (class-based) Arduino Libraries into XOD nodes. Useful for expanding the range of hardware you can use in XOD. Written by Matt Wayland.
