We\'ve noticed that in robotics competitions sometimes the students were simply going through the motions without truly grasping the subsystems and the code behind their work. So we developed the Robotics Sensor & Motor Training Kit for NI myRIO and LabVIEW. This innovative kit includes a Sensor Training Board and a Motor Training Board that easily plug into the myRIO and is available exclusively at Studica. The kit provides all the materials required to get started. Contact Studica for more info.

Here is an example experiment using a photoresistor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlGiifSw6r0.

Studica identified the need for an educational tool that teaches the basics of LabVIEW while at the same time helping students develop a complete understanding of how to control sensors, motors, and actuators.

In addition to the Sensor Training Board and the Motor Training Board, the kit includes connection cables, relevant sensors, motors, a power adaptor, and courseware. The courseware provides a variety of experiments that build an understanding of sensors, motors, and actuators.
