Most buyers don't need this. It is for people who already know electronics.
The firmware and the web app are free under the GPL-3.0 licence. The V1.0 board design is a Fritzing file under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence. They are in the MakerBuddy-V1 repository on GitHub (opens in a new tab).
There are no ready-made Gerber files (the files a factory uses to make a board) and no parts list yet. You export the board files from Fritzing and choose the parts yourself.

Step 3
Showing all 15 parts.
These work as soon as the board has power. Nothing to plug in.
The brain is a small Wi-Fi computer (an ESP32) on the same board. The plug-in parts go into labelled sockets, and most plugs fit only one way. The distance sensor and the text screen use four wires, matched by name.
They sense temperature, humidity, distance, movement, smoke or gas, and soil moisture.
They move, switch or show something.
Ideas: Parking gate, clothesline, moving character
Taught in lesson 14
Ideas: Small fan or bulb that turns itself on (low-voltage only)
Low-voltage things only. Never connect mains electricity.

Am I ready?
Tick each thing you already have.
Android phones can't run the dashboard yet, because our phone app is not in the stores yet. Get the extension for Chrome (opens in a new tab), Edge (opens in a new tab) or Firefox (opens in a new tab).
Wi-Fi that makes you sign in on a web page, or asks for a username, will not work. The board and your computer or tablet must be on the same network.
Not sure whether your kit comes with one? Ask us before you order.
After that, readings and commands stay on your own Wi-Fi. There is no account to make.
Want to try it first? Every lesson has a free “Try it” demo that works in your browser with no kit. See the lessons. In any MakerBuddy dashboard, you can also type demo as the device name to see sample readings without a board.
