====== HomeLab Hardware ======

The modules of the Robotic HomeLab are divided into different kits, allowing one to select the best option for the needs of a student or school. The simplest set is the HomeLab Basic Kit including the components to carry out the basic microcontroller experiment. In addition to the microcontroller, the kit consists of a digital I/O module with LCD display. Together with the Basic Kit, the Motor and Sensor Add-on Kit can be used; this includes different types of motors and sensors together with accessories. The sensor and motor Add-On Kit cannot be used separately from the Basic Kit as the microcontroller is not included in the Add-On kit. HomeLab Advanced Kit includes all modules and components from the Basic Kit and Add-On Kit and in addition the RFID, Communication and Machine Vision modules. HomeLab Advanced Kit is more targeted for teachers. For students the Basic Kit together with the Add-On Kit are much more convenient to use and carry to home or work place.
