In our last blog post, we introduced you to the all-new Braccio ++. Now, it’s time to get acquainted with its impressive array of features.

Including open-source hardware and a wealth of online learning material, this revolutionary new kit - a step up from the Tinkerkit Braccio - is perfect for teaching important STEAM aspects of the high school and college curriculum.

What’s included in the Braccio ++ kit:

The most important elements of the kit include:

• Assembly parts, screws, nuts, springs, and a screwdriver
• Six Arduino RS485 Smart Servo Motors:
  • 4 SR418D servo motors which control the arm joints
  • 2 SR312 servo motors which control the claw
• Arduino Braccio Carrier
• Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect
• A printed guide on how to assemble the kit, make it work with the motors, and upload initial sketches

But that’s not all - the kit also includes access to our easy-to-use e-learning platform. This contains step-by-step instructions, lessons, projects, and various other learning materials.

The content created specifically for Braccio ++ includes four lessons and three projects, covering kinematics, dynamics, and control. For high school, it also covers computer-integrated manufacturing.

Features of Braccio ++

Braccio ++ makes applying physical concepts to real-world scenarios accessible to everyone through lifting, placing, rotating, and sorting different items. Designed for up to three students to use, they’ll create a small replica of a real industrial robot used on an assembly line or in an automotive factory.

Aimed at advanced high school and college students aged 16+, this kit allows access go simple tutorials covering how to use and test the different parts of the hardware, including the display, joystick, buttons, and intelligent motors.

The online learning platform also provides examples of projects demonstrating how to test or play with Braccio ++ once it’s assembled, as well as one project that’s solely focused on machine learning. Students can also discover even more project ideas on the Arduino community and connect with other students meeting the same outcomes - and our dedicated support team is on hand whenever you need them.
