Educators

STEM Educators can turn abstract coding concepts into tangible, interactive experiences. Students write code and instantly see it come alive—blinking LEDs, moving motors, sensing the environment. No soldering, no setup delays—just plug, code, and create.


Hand-picked Options

Technically all DUELink boards can be used in education. However, we have hand selected these DUELink boards for STEM educators.

tip

These educator-focused boards ship preloaded with MicroBlocks. Users can always load and reload any DUELink module with any of the available software options.

Back

InputProcessOutput is an excellent way to learn physical computing. Includes a graphical display.


Size

Touch-sensitive connections with graphing LED matrix, light sensor, and a buzzer.


When ready, use the Downlink connector for daisylinking other DUELink modules.


Ultra Low-Cost

These low-cost boards offer an edge-connector similar to micro:bit. Everything on-board is fully supported by the DUELink engine and MicroBlocks. Also, with a little experience, users can utilize the edge connector and build extensions to control micro:bit robots and other accessories!

tip

These boards can be coded using DUELink engine or MicroBlocks, and not MakeCode.

Using MakeCode is possible when tethering micro:bit to DUELink modules.

Size

Graphical 128x64 display, light sensor, buzzer and 2x user buttons.

Size

5x5 LED matrix, light sensor, buzzer, and 2x user buttons.


$100 STEM Classroom!

STEMify an entire classroom with everything you need for under $100! Students can double-up and use this pack of 14x CincoBit boards. Worry not, storage boxes and USB cables are also included.

CincoBit Kit

Students will start controlling the LED matrix and making sounds in minutes, then use logic to build games in hours. Everything will be done in the student-friendly MicroBlocks drag-and-drop block coding environment.

MicroBlocks

Optionally, students can use the edge connector to learn about digital/analog inputs/outputs, and can control motion using servo motors.

Cincobit Servos

Have a micro:bit accessory in mind, such as a robot? A pre-created extension can be used by the students to make a "Dancing robot"!

Cincobit Robot Dance

The journey does not end there as the Downlink connector can be used to Daisylink other DUELink modules, as explained later on this page.

Duino

We have designed DueDuino for all Arduino fans, with matching headers to help you experiment with "Shields".

You can code DueDuino using the DUELink engine, or fully code it using the Arduino IDE, turning it into a low-cost Arduino-compatible board with Downlink connector.


MicroBlocks

Use MicroBlocks for a fantastic block-coding experience! Users drag-and-drop on the PC to instantly see changes on the connected hardware. There is no need to "download" to the device.

MicroBlocks

Users can run MicroBlocks on the web or they can download local offline software.

MicroBlocks IDE

Individual product pages above has "Getting Started" steps. You may also visit the MicroBlocks page for more details!


Third-Party Options

DUELink modules work in so many ways, allowing you to continue using your existing hardware and software.

Perhaps you want to use micro:bit with Microsoft MakeCode tethered to an LED module.

LinkBit

Or use Raspberry Pi with Python tethered to a barometer.

RPI Daisylink

Or use Arduino with its software or with MicroPython tethered to a Daisylink of modules.

Arduino UNO 4 Daisylinked

You can even tether DUELink modules to PCs and Laptops, then control them using JavaScript, Python, .NET, and beyond!

Computer with modules

The ever-growing Product Catalog has an impressive list of options!


Chaining Modules

Connect one, or connect them all, DUELink gives you options, thanks to its modern Daisylink.

Essential Kit


While you can use your favorite hardware and software to control DUELink modules, all modules also include a built in scripting engine. Students can utilize this Python-BASIC-like friendly language for a type-coding option. Coding is done on a Console that runs in a web browser and requires no installations.

Arcade Games

Arcade

Part of GHI Electronics offering is BrainPad Arcade which focuses on game development through Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. DUELink adds physical computing to game development in your classroom. The Arcade page has more info.
