Experimenter Kit
A structured learning kit for TinyCLR. A FEZ Bit SBC, sensors, accessories, the BrainBot robot, and a companion eBook that reads like a textbook. Built for educators teaching .NET on embedded and engineers picking up TinyCLR for the first time.
Companion eBook
The eBook C# for IoT and Robotics is the kit's curriculum. Each chapter pairs with a hands-on experiment using the included hardware — concepts introduced in order designed for retention, paired with C# you run on real hardware as you read.
What's in the box
The kit is built around a FEZ Bit SBC and a set of sensors, accessories, and a robot:
- FEZ Bit — SC20100 SoC, WiFi, 1.8″ color display, microSD, accelerometer (see Single Board Computer for full board reference)
- BrainBot robot assembly with rechargeable battery
- BrainClip accessory pack — circuit modules that connect via alligator clips
- Color LED light, 8-LED RGB ring
- Distance sensor, sound sensor, motion detector
- Infrared receiver and remote control (battery included)
- Red button, green button, analog rocker module, buzzer speaker
- 10× alligator clip wires
- USB cables
- Reusable case
Getting started
The FEZ Bit at the heart of the kit runs the same TinyCLR firmware as every other SITCore board.
- Connect the FEZ Bit to your PC with a USB cable.
- Install Visual Studio (Community Edition works) and the TinyCLR tooling.
- Open the companion eBook and follow chapter 1 to deploy your first program.
See Getting Started for the full walkthrough, and the Single Board Computer page for FEZ Bit hardware details — pinouts, peripheral pins, schematic, and firmware download.
