The Toolkit is based around the Raspberry Pi Pico development board. A low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces.
The board is capable of controlling multiple outputs, such as motors, lights, screens, speakers. While at the same time able to receive data from multiple sensors, such as light, movement, sound etc.
We have included Grove connectors for i2c connections, allowing you to add more complex sensors such as distance, air quality, GPS or a whole range of input or outputs from the Grove ecosystem.
The boards come with micropython pre-installed as well as some example code.
Examples for many of the sensors are included on our Github page, as well as more detailed instructions, troubleshooting guides and schematics.
Open Minds Toolkit v0.1
KiCAD 3D viewer mode, WIP
The Toolkit will be based around the Raspberry Pi Pico development board. A low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces.
The board is capable of controlling multiple outputs, such as motors, lights, screens, speakers. While at the same time it is able to receive data from multiple sensors, such as light, movement, sound etc.
It is possible to add complex sensors such as humidity, distance sensors, GPS, air quality etc. using i2c communications. We will include connectors for these extra sensors as well as access to the GPIO (general purpose in / out) pins.

By including these sensors on the board we will be able to include some basic examples of how to use it. We will also include connections to the GPIO’s not being used by our sensors so that participants can attach their own sensors if needed.
