Compatibility and specification callouts
When choosing kits at scale, check these specification points to avoid classroom disruption:
- Microcontroller model & pinout - ensures curriculum code examples run unchanged.
- Power requirements - include regulated USB power banks or 5V supplies that meet class safety needs.
- Sensor communication (I2C, SPI, analog) - select kits that align with the primary controller used.
If you need help matching kits to a syllabus or project, request a tailored quote and component list so you can compare specs side-by-side.
