Sensor.Engine MICRO

The Sensor.Engine MICRO is a small programmable controller board meant to interface to sensors and control various modules. The SEM can be used as a STEM learning device. The SEM is an excellent learning, experimentation, and development tool to use with a collection of 37+ sensors!

The heart of the SEM is a 32 bit microcontroller with an integrated advanced program interpreter. The language that SEM uses is a modern version of BASIC. Unlike past versions of the language, this new BASIC is structured. It supports subroutines and doesn't need line numbers. It is the perfect language for the SEM. It is easy to learn, and yet still powerful. It has support for the input and output control that the SEM needs.

The SEM has I/O lines along the top edge of the PCB for connection to various circuits. The SEM can be used with a solderless printed circuit board for prototyping. The SEM can also be used with other electrical connection methods to interface to modules, devices, and circuits.

The SEM has a small graphic display and three colored buttons for user I/O. Control and programming of the SEM is done through a USB-to-PC connection. An SD socket on the board supports an optional micro SD card.
