In this learning kit, we will introduce you to the technology that powers them. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn this project, you'll progress through multiple learning phases and develop a perspective-shaped mindset with tangible hardware that embodies the elegance of modern electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLevel 1: Soldering\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of parts on the board have been pre-assembled to ensure the functionality of the main board. But you will still need to attempt an introductory level soldering task (20 LEDs with though-hole pins) to complete the entire project. Getting your hands dirty is always the first step in learning. If you are looking for a beginner-friendly soldering kit, please check out our previous campaign for \"SparkTip\".\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLevel 2: Microcontroller and Python\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your board hardware has been completed, it's time to explore how each component, sensors and LEDs interface with each other, and the best tool to appreciate all the controls is through a Microcontroller. In the project, we use Raspberry RP2040-based microcontroller, and in the tutorial we have two sections that provide walk-through codes, guiding you through the foundational steps and acquainting you with microcontroller configurations and micro-Python programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLevel 3: Controlled by STEPFPGA\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the highest-level learning program, we introduce FPGA. This hardware provides flexibility, high-speed processing capabilities, and customization for advanced control and management in traffic light systems. This part will be implemented by the STEPFPGA board, which is also available in our store.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"expandable-content__toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"main-description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expandable-content__toggle-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expandable-content__toggle-text\" data-view-more=\"View more\" data-view-less=\"View less\"\u003eView more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"card details_product\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"card__collapsible-button\" data-action=\"toggle-collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"unique-tab-2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cspan class=\"card__title heading h3\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003cspan\u003e\r\n\u003csvg focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon--arrow-bottom\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 8\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\r\n\u003cpath stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M10 2L6 6 2 2\" fill=\"none\" stroke-linecap=\"square\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\r\n\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003c\/button\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"unique-tab-2\" class=\"card__collapsible\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"card__collapsible-content\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte text--pull\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSTEPico microcontroller x 1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTraffic Lights Project Board Mainboard (pre-assembled components) x 1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTraffic lights x 4, the 12 LEDs come in un-assembled pieces so you need to solder them\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRoad lights x 8, the 8 LEDs come in un-assembled pieces so you need to solder them\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTutorial Book x 1, all the soldering, microcontrollers, and FPGA knowledge you need to build the project\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSupport: Documentation and More\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EIM Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44271073296535,"sku":"RM-EIMT-00A","price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/3997\/9927\/files\/pp_2293103.webp?v=1778270995","url":"https:\/\/ca.robotshop.com\/products\/eim-technology-traffic-light-control-system-learning-raspberry-pico-and-stepfpga","provider":"RobotShop Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
