Function and Applications
Programs surround, entertain and support us: They switch traffic lights, play music for us and even open doors. But how? The PHYWE CubiCode guides your learners in answering this question. They create their own programs in no time and use sensors, actuators and Blockly to master the basics of programming in a playful way!
The CubiCode Expert Set offers flexibility for many applications with 11 sensors and 9 actuators. For example, a pedestrian traffic light can be switched to green at the push of a button while the car traffic light turns red at the same time, a parking assistant with distance measurement, color and sound output can be implemented, or even an entire smart home can be programmed.
Sensors and actuators are magnetically docked onto a CubiLink and supplied with power. Each CubiLink communicates wirelessly (Bluetooth 5.1) with the control center, where the programs are executed. Using software, the programs are transferred to the control center (via Bluetooth or USB).
