Single-Board Computers
Combine the functionality of a PC with the flexibility of a development board’s digital inputs and outputs. These computers are faster than development boards and also have more memory, so they’re able to run multiple applications simultaneously. Use them to prototype or program complex automation jobs, such as controlling the movements of a robot arm or livestreaming video from a remote facility. About the size of a credit card, they easily mount inside control cabinets.
These computers run on a Linux-based operating system. To program, download an operating system onto a micro SD card (not included) and then transfer it to the single-board computer.
Use sets to start prototyping automation systems. 94-, 96-, and 97-piece sets include all of the hardware in the 5-piece sets, as well as some electrical components. Use the components to prototype your physical system, which might incorporate temperature and pressure sensors (not included) using the Qwiic adapter, push button controls, and LED indicators.

Open-Source Controllers
Combine the functionality of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and the accessibility of a development board. Built around a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino-enabled microcontroller, these controllers use open-source software to make programming and troubleshooting convenient. Use them in your automated system to monitor sensors, control actuators, and support Internet-of-Things functionality, such as wireless communication with sensors and connection to cloud-computing services. Their plastic housing keeps the inner electronics protected in industrial environments. Controllers meet UL 94 V-0 standards for safety, and they’re rated IP20 to prevent fingers and other objects greater than 12.5 mm from making contact with live circuits. Mount them to DIN rails inside control cabinets.
