The Desktop Prototyping Kit
A complete electronics package designed to teach smart city fundamentals. Wire real-time sensors directly to an Arduino microcontroller and execute density-based traffic algorithms right on your desk.
What's in the Box
Every kit contains authentic, high-precision electronic components curated for clear signal routing and reliable logic testing. No soldering or advanced electronics experience is required to begin.
Arduino Microcontroller
IR Density Sensors
High-Visibility LEDs
Infrared sensor modules that detect physical model vehicles, sending real-time density data back to the central controller for signal timing updates.
The core computing unit that runs your traffic logic. Includes a USB cable for power and rapid code deployment from any desktop IDE.
Industrial-grade red, yellow, and green light-emitting diodes paired with precise resistors to simulate standard physical traffic signals clearly.
Lab Specifications
Designed for Engineering Labs
Kit Architecture
This kit bridges the gap between basic electronics and software engineering. Students build the physical circuit on the breadboard, then write logic to handle emergency priority overrides and density-based timing adjustments.
Operating voltage: 5V via USB. Sensor range: 2cm to 15cm adjustable. Breadboard points: 830 tie-points with dual power rails. Microcontroller flash memory: 32 KB.
Includes step-by-step wiring schematics and open-source starter code to ensure rapid setup, letting educators focus on teaching smart city fundamentals rather than troubleshooting loose wires.
