Core Workshop

Regular price $99.00 Sale

The HackerBox Core Workshop is designed to provide a foundation for engaging in advanced electronics projects such as the monthly HackerBox subscription boxes. The workshop features hands-on experiments with four different microcontroller platforms: the RP2040, ESP32, ATmega328P, and nRF52. These platforms were selected to leverage a range of development tools and various programming languages. Furthermore, a broad selection of input/output components are provided for exploring various interfaces and applications of the microcontroller platforms.  

Explore Python, C/C++, and Embedded Assembly coding.  Scan wireless networks and experiment with packet sniffing tools for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.  Stream digital audio to and from a variety of endpoints.  Prototype an Arduino on breadboard platform from a bare microcontroller chip.  Explore Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) Technologies. Experiment with various application areas including graphic displays, wireless communications, human-machine interface, media streaming, security, and machine intelligence. Expand your electronics toolset with supplies and components selected to support a variety of future hardware projects.
