Training
The Training board is for learning, not for a build — a testbed that gathers common components so you can master electronics and MicroPython one concept at a time. See the Intro to Electronics course.
Training board
A board bringing together the modules a beginner needs to learn electronics and MicroPython: LEDs, push buttons, potentiometers, shift registers, rotary encoders, relays, and a temperature sensor. Together they cover digital input and output, analog input, and SPI communication. Paired with the guided exercises, it lets learners master coding and wiring one at a time, and doubles as a testbed for validating experiment logic before committing it to a real setup.
