GENIE 08 Light Kit |
|
The GENIE 08 Light Kit is an ideal way
of introducing simple LED-based lighting projects into
your classroom. It allows your students to develop
projects such as wearable badges, electronic die games
and night-time warning systems. |

|
The low-cost activity kit is a great
place to start learning about GENIE, as it allows
you to experiment with sensing analogue and digital
signals, controlling lights and making simple sounds
(for realistic sound effects and 16-channel MIDI
music, you should choose the separate GENIE
14 Audio Kit). |

GENIE 08 Jukebox Kit |
|
The GENIE 08 Jukebox Kit allows you
to have fun with 2-channel polyphonic music. You can
also create a disco effect by flashing two LED outputs
in time with the music. For higher-quality music, you
should use the GENIE 14 Audio
Kit, described below. |
