14 Sensor Control Projects with LabPro

Project Summary

Use the parts included in our Robotics and Control Kit with our Digital Control Unit (DCU). The experiments included with the kit provide a great way to introduce engineering, programming, and design concepts, and it is perfect for student projects. The fourteen projects include: Alarm system, Greenhouse, Flashing LEDs, Traffic Light, Rubber Band Launcher, Sun Tracker, and more.
