Product Description

Microcontrollers — small, self-contained computers — are the “brains” inside dozens of the devices and appliances in your home. The Thames & Kosmos Microcontroller Computer Systems Engineering Kit is an extraordinary laboratory for learning about this technology that is integral to your lives tody. Microwaves, washing machines, telephones, and stereos all have microcontrollers inside them. A microcontroller is a computer-on-a-microchip, and includes a processor, memory for storing data, timers, and ports for connecting to other components. As our everyday devices become increasingly “smart” with embedded technology, microcontrollers are becoming more and more important. Thames & Kosmos Microcontroller Computer Systems Engineering Kit introduces you to microcontrollers, sensors, and programming through 100 experiments. Build devices that use sensors to monitor and record data, and use the data to control motors, buzzers, lights, and a digital display. Write programs to control the devices you build. For example, you can build a light meter using a light dependent resistor and record the light levels in a room over a 12 hour period. Or measure and record the temperature outside with a temperature sensor, then graph the results. The number of possible experiments is limited only by your imagination.

System requirements: Thames & Kosmos Microcontroller Computer Systems Engineering Kit requires a PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98, 2000 or XP operating system, at least 64 MB of RAM, at least 5 MB of free hard disk space, an available 9-pin serial (COM) or USB port, and a CD drive. Requires 1 9V battery, sold separately. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
