To be able to work on the embedded systems and sensors assignment you’ll need some hardware, including an Arduino (compatible) board, a breadboard, jumper wires, an LCD display, a number of sensors, etc.

For your convenience, we’ve compiled a comprehensive kit that contains all the hardware that you’ll need for the first assignment. (All the hardware? Well, almost all the hardware; there’s one missing piece that you’ll need to obtain yourself.)

And even more than that, as the kit also contains the hardware for the second assignment, on the Internet of Things (IoT). This means that you’ll get two embedded development platforms (one for the embedded systems and sensors assignment and one for the IoT assignment) and all the peripherals in a single go. More details on the IoT assignment and the accompanying hardware will be made available later on during the course. For now we’ll concentrate on just the embedded systems and sensors assignment, but just know that you’ll be set for the second assignment as well, hardware-wise.

While compiling the kit we concentrated on two aspects: suitability of the contents with regard to the assignments and keeping costs low.

    

We think we succeeded in finding a nice, versatile and rather extensive set of components which also has a use beyond this course, at a very reasonable price, especially given the inflation we’ve seen.

Paying for your kit

You should have received payment details via e-mail.

Delivery of your kit

Your kit will be handed to you at the start of the soldering workshop that you signed up for.

Spares

Mistakes may be made. Although most components are resilient to some extent of abuse, mistakes sometimes do lead to broken parts. If you damage one or more of the components in your kit, and you do need a replacement, we do have a limited amount of spares available. Please contact the lecturer of the embedded systems and sensors assignment for details if this applies to you.
