Custom Branding: Make it your own! We offer custom branding for your organization.
Getting Started with Arduino and the 1MS Microcontroller Trainer
The 1st Maker Space Microcontroller Trainer is designed to help true beginners get started with the Arduino programming system. Arduino is three things: the hardware (microcontrollers), the language (a subset of C++), and the community of users worldwide. The 1MS Microcontroller Trainer board is built to help you learn the basics of Arduino without any soldering or wiring. It features a microcontroller (ATmega32U4), the brain of any Arduino, and various circuits you can use in your sketches.
Explore the Circuits on the 1MS Microcontroller Trainer Board
Single LEDs: Four single LEDs controlled by digital pins for immediate feedback.
Momentary Switches: Two push buttons measured by digital pins for user input.
Neopixel: An individually addressable RGB LED for colorful displays.
Piezo Element: A simple circuit for emitting tones.
Infrared Receiver: Detect infrared signals and transform them into electrical signals.
Infrared Emitter: Emit infrared light for communication.
Thumbwheel Potentiometer: Measure resistance changes with a turnable knob.
Light Dependent Resistor: Gauge ambient light conditions.
Temperature Sensor: Accurately deduce ambient temperature.
OLED: A compact screen for real-time communication and feedback.
Empower the Next Generation of Innovators
At 1st Maker Space, we aim to empower students to learn through doing. We design and provide makerspaces, build high-quality furniture made for making, train educators through hands-on professional development, and offer STEM & maker curricula. We're nurturing the next generation of innovators, scientists, and engineers by equipping schools and districts with the tools to create dynamic, interactive learning environments.
