Mini Grand Shield
Besides being an awesome electronic instrument, the Mini Grand was also designed to be hacked! Control it with external devices, or use it as a controller for your own projects.
Our in-depth Getting Started manual expertly guides you through every step of the process, turning your collection of components into a fully functional and impressive device. It even allows you to build your device without any prior coding skills, thanks to our readily available example projects.
If you're truly passionate about learning, embark on a journey of discovery into the realms of coding and hardware with our comprehensive guide, "Arduino Code and Hardware Fundamentals." Crafted by our founder, Shaun Armstrong, an experienced high school STEAM teacher, this book serves as the perfect entry point for beginners exploring the world of coding and gadgetry.
From the fundamentals of electronics, circuitry, and common components to coding, this book covers it all in an easily understandable manner. It starts with the basics, like blinking an LED, and gradually progresses to the creation of a fully functional robot piano memory game. With step-by-step instructions and examples, you'll gain a profound understanding of Arduino coding and hardware, setting you on the path to becoming a confident creator.
Computer
A USB C to USB A cable is included but if your computer only has a USB C port, you can use any USB C data cable or an A to C adapter.
Arduino IDE
External Components
Learning coding and electronics is a valuable and in-demand skill, and the Mini Grand Mega Kit provides an exciting and practical way to gain hands-on experience.
Programming is done on the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) using the C++ programming language. C++ is a powerful and widely-used programming language that has many applications in areas such as robotics, game development, software engineering, and scientific research. Learning C++ can provide a strong foundation for understanding programming concepts and can lead to further exploration in the field of computer science.
In educational settings, the Mini Grand Kit can be used to teach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) concepts in a fun and engaging way. The coding textbook included was written by our founder Shaun Armstrong, who is an experienced STEAM department hight school head. The included amomii UNO is also a great tool for personal projects and experimentation, allowing you to explore your creativity and innovation.
Overall, the Mini Grand is an excellent way to gain practical skills and knowledge while having fun. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, the amomii UNO provides endless opportunities for learning and experimentation, making it a valuable addition to any educational or personal toolkit.
