Robotic Minion Starter Kit Just Needs Your Code!

Interested in Robotics but undecided on where to start? Dustin and David Andrews on #-Link-Snipped-# have launched, what is called, a Robotic Minion Starter Kit, an easy-to-use open-source box compatible with Arduino boards. The Robotic Starter Kit is a personal project by the duo which provides a single-board platform with LCD, rotary encoder (think volume knob), and power regulator on the board with a menu driven interface. All it needs is your code and it's ready to go.

The Starter Kit is simple in its outlook with an LCD, rotary encoder, and speaker, all residing in a plastic enclosure. The Starter Kit is a good investment for people who are interested in controlling hardware without having to delve into complexities of the same. The Starter Kit is capable of running code which can in turn control robots, lasers, cameras, or any hardware the user chooses.

The open-source box also performs well for sensor-based projects such as GPS, proximity sensors, RFID, and others. The Starter Kit also packs little parts one would need for Arduino projects. The Robotic Minion Starter Kit helps deploy your ideas into the real world, by providing ruggedness and versatility. For further information on the project, you can visit the #-Link-Snipped-# page.
