Raspberry Pi's latest competitor RockPro64 brings more power plus AI processor | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding 

Raspberry Pi's latest competitor RockPro64 brings more power plus AI processor | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Pine64 has released a budget-friendly single-board computer with the high-powered Rockchip RK3399 system on chip (SoC).

Available from around $60, the RockPro64 board comes in two flavors, either with the hexa-core RK3399 SoC or the RK3399Pro, Rockchip's first "artificial-intelligence processor". Unveiled at CES 2018, it combines a CPU, GPU, and neural-network processing unit (NPU).

As noted by CNX-Software, a number of RK3999-based boards have been released in the past week but, priced at around $200 each, they've been aimed at business customers rather than home developers.

The RockPro64 with 2GB of RAM will cost between $59 and $65 and will be available from March, while the RockPro64-AI will cost $99 but won't be available until August 1, according to Pine64.

Glad to see more affordable solutions for makers willing to push the envelope. This is a lot of tech for a decent price tag.

It's a chance for hobbyist to be able to tinker with neural networks, I could definitely use some additional brain power on weather data autonomously triggering relays for example :)

Alternative Arduino Interfaces | #Coding #ArduBlock #VisualProgramming #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Overviewing the Options


Arduino is awesome! It’s our go-to electronics education platform, and it’s our top choice for rapid prototyping, but it isn’t for everyone. Maybe it’s the cryptic language, or the Java-based IDE, or maybe it’s just the teal window border – regardless of your reasoning, if you’re trying to escape the Arduino IDE, here are a few alternatives we’d like to share.

The Arduino alternatives covered in this tutorial range from simple, introductory graphical programming to web-based Arduino interfaces for your web browser. Here’s a quick overview of each interface covered, we’ll go into further detail later on:

ArduBlock – A Visual Programming Arduino Extension


ArduBlock is a graphical programming add-on to the default Arduino IDE. Instead of memorizing cryptic functions, forgetting semicolons, and debugging code, ArduBlock allows you to build your Arduino program by dragging and dropping interlocking blocks.

First use of the #3Dprinter FORM2 | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #3DPrinting 

First use of the #3Dprinter FORM2 | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #3DPrinting  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Recently I bought myself the latest model of 3D-printers from Formlabs, the Form2.

The Form 2 delivers high-resolution prints in  Industrial 3D printing quality and it is very, very expensive. (I had been waiting (and saving money) for 3 years until I made the financial plunge to get such a machine)

But it has the huge advantage that dosen’t require a lot of tweaking and experimenting to run, you just take it out of the box, you install it and it runs !! It comes with the right software, the materials you need to use are in sich a packaging (1 Liter resin cartridges !) that you can concentrate on the objet you’re printing and not on the maintenance of the machine. The system recognises the resin type, configures settings, and allows you to keep track of resin supplies.

The Form 2 is a SLA printer where SLA stand for Stereolithography. SLA is an additive manufacturing – commonly referred to as 3D printing – technology that converts liquid materials into solid parts, layer by layer, by selectively curing them using a light source in a process called photopolymerization. SLA is widely used to create models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts for a range of industries from engineering and product design to manufacturing, dentistry, jewelry, model making, and education.

Learning doesn't have to be a "loner" experience.


Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky suggested that knowledge is constructed through our interactions with others.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Learning) leverage our inherent social needs by bringing people together to learn the same material in a virtual group. Students can express what they're feeling and experiencing with others in a shared space, making the learning journey more enjoyable and less daunting.

 

As people gain confidence, they often enjoy friendly competition with fellow learners to push themselves to compete exercises and assignments. Recognition is part of our need for building self-esteem—and some courses have gamification built in to reward student accomplishments and community helpfulness.

Bisher waren Legos Roboterbausätze teuer und lockten mit ihrem Ingenieurs-Charme bestenfalls Erstsemester an. Boost soll nun auch die Jüngsten an das Programmieren heranführen.

Lust auf Lego? Das Set 17101 – Code-Name „Boost“ – hat einiges zu bieten. Herzstück ist der Move-Hub – ein per Bluetooth LE ansprechbarer Controller, an den sich bis zu zwei zusätzliche Aktoren/Sensoren anschließen lassen; er wird mit sechs AAA-Batterien bestückt. Zwei Motoren, ein Gyrosensor und eine RGB-LED sind im Move-Hub bereits integriert. Ein weiterer Motor und ein kombinierter Farb-/Entfernungssensor sind im Set enthalten. Der Move-Hub bildet die Basis für fünf spannende Grundmodelle vom klassischen Roboter über eine Technokatze bis zur Legofabrik. Die Modelle lassen sich per App in Bewegung setzen und programmieren.

ArduBlock
ArduBlock is a programming environment designed to make “physical computing with Arduino as easy as drag-and-drop.” Instead of writing code, worrying about syntax, and (mis)placing semicolons, ArduBlock allows you to visually program with an snapped-together list of code blocks.

Here is a cool and useful interface that will connect your code to the physical world. Drag and drop programming along with game design makes for an innovative way to connect ideas and applications for learning computer science. #cs4all, #stem

Encapsulated javascript like Scratch can be useful to get the basics of coding - and it can also help operating a microcontroller.

It can sooth the transition to actual coding in the natural evolution of those who become frustrated by blocks' limitations and want to know more.

First Steps with the Arduino-UNO R3 | Maker, MakerED, Coding | Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project | LCD and Sensors Project

First Steps with the Arduino-UNO R3 | Maker, MakerED, Coding | Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project | LCD and Sensors Project | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

SO, as I got my new Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project I am playing around a bit with it. In my previous post WE were wiring and testing a LCD-Display and coding to display a bit text on the LCD. That was actually very easy, so lets try out now some “Sensors“, e.g. a Temperature/Humidity Sensor and a Ultrasonic Sensor to measure distances. The measured values of those sensors will get displayed on the LCD-Display.

Welcome to the Digital Sandbox!


The Digital Sandbox is a learning platform that engages both the software and hardware worlds. It’s powered by a microcontroller that can interact with real-world inputs – like light or temperature sensors – while at the same time controlling LEDs, motors, and other outputs. The Digital Sandbox is equipped with everything, on board, that you will need to complete 13 experiments including controlling an LED, measuring how loud things are, detecting the temperature is, and more.

Visuino - Visual Development for Arduino | #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The components found in the Visuino software represent their hardware components and you will easily be able to create and design your programs using drag and drop. No equipment or hardware is needed to run the software in design mode. Once you have completed the design, you can connect Arduino board upload and run it.

For those people who are not strong on writing code then designing, compiling and creating Arduino programs has never been easier! Why waste time on creating code when we have done all the hard work for you already? You have your Arduino board, and great hardware design, see it running in minutes, not hours!

We recommend that you join the Google group to keep up-to-date with all the latest releases.

Their tagline is "like code, but better" and even though I don't question the importance of learning code in various languages, it is clear that a nodal approach is easing the process of learning and doing some "controls".

Looking forward to using this on a future project in the greenhouse... or building rolbots with the kiddos.

Visuino is another software solution designed to ease the coding of Arduino micro-controllers through a visual interface:
