FAQs on Quarky IoT House Addon Kit

Quarky Addon kits are innovative do-it-yourself (DIY) kits that offer a wide variety of fields to explore, including Humanoid Robots, Mars Rover, Robotic Arm, Internet of Things, and more. Each kit comes fully equipped with all the necessary materials and instructions to create over 10 projects using coding, AI, and robotics. The opportunities to learn are endless.

There are two choices:

  1. With Quarky: You get a Quarky board with the kit. Quarky is needed to run any project. So, if you don’t have a Quarky board, choose this option.
  2. Without Quarky: The Quarky board is not included in the kit. You will need to get it separately to run the IoT House.

No, Quarky is an intuitive learning tool that is suitable for both novice and experienced coders. It is programmed using a graphical programming platform named PictoBlox which allows you to build your project by using Block Coding as well as Python. In addition, the interactive graphical programming interface adds fun to the learning and makes the whole experience even more immersive.

The kit includes a book and online resources to facilitate learning.

The kit is suitable for students aged 10 and up. Some students with a passionate interest in technology and learning have been able to create projects beyond their age range using the kit.

Quarky is a powerful, portable device that allows users to create complex projects with its 3.7V Li–ion battery support, two tactile switches, five capacitive touch sensors, two infrared sensors, and general–purpose input–output pins. It includes 35 programmable RGB LEDs in a 7×5 grid for creating animations, writing text, and displaying patterns, as well as a good-quality speaker for human-like audio or buzzing. Additionally, it has Wi–Fi and Bluetooth compatibility, and multipurpose input/output pins that can be used to interface with any third–party sensors. Quarky also has protections for reverse polarity, overvoltage, and overcurrent.
