fischertechnik Education is dedicated to supporting STEM education. They offer hands-on solutions for learners of all ages, from kindergarten and elementary, through middle & high school, right on up to college & university, and even industry. Students are able to develop a deep understanding of how devices and mechanisms work.
The Pi-F5-HAT is a fischertechnik adapter for the Raspberry PI. The Pi-F5-HAT can be used to control DC and SERVO motors as well as digital and analogue sensors. With the programming language of your choice (Python, C, Scratch, ...), the Hat can be managed in such a way that no special libraries are required. It is possible to work simultaneously with 4 DC motors bidirectionally and 2 SERVO motors (microservo 4.8V / 6V). The number of motors that can work simultaneously depends on the power supply connected to the Pi-F5-HAT (e.g. fischertechnik power supply 9V / 2.5A). The Pi-F5-HAT and the Raspberry PI together can also be supplied with power by a 9V power supply unit or a fischertechnik battery (1800 mAh). The output voltage which supplies the DC motors corresponds approximately to the input supply voltage of the Pi-F5-HAT (9 V). the HAT also supports the operation of all fischertechnik DC motors (S motor, XS, XM, encoder motor).
Ideal add-on for expanding the capabilities of the Agile Production Simualtion Model
The APS Add On: Automated guided vehicle system extends the Agile Production Simulation (APS) with an additional automated guided vehicle system (AGV). This is responsible for intralogistics within APS and enables agile and flexible processes. The additional AGV significantly increases the possibilities of intralogistics. Parallelization and prioritization in the production workflow can be planned, tested and experienced. At the same time, the complexity of logistics processes increases.
Expansion module for use with the Agile Production Simulation model.
The APS Add On: Kiln adds a new production module to the Agile Production Simulation (APS). The standard configuration with a drilling and milling module is extended by the option of a kiln. The additional process module allows the introduction of new derivatives into production or the expansion of existing production configurations by an additional process step.
Specially designed adapter to bridge the gap between the micro:bit controller and the versatile fischeretchnik modular system. The adapter board has 8 outputs and 6 inputs.
