The Johnny-Five Inventor’s Kit (J5IK) is an outstanding choice for developing projects with the Tessel 2 and the Johnny-Five programming framework. It allows you to build JavaScript - powered hardware by combining a common software language with powerful hardware. With this kit, you can complete 14 circuits, learning to control and read external sensors and displays, operate motors, and master JavaScript, all without prior programming or electronics experience (though existing skills can help). Thanks to Johnny - Five, you'll gain the skills to start your own IoT projects and experiments. Johnny - Five is an Open Source Robotics and IoT platform based on the IO - Plugin protocol, maintained by a passionate community of developers and engineers. The online Experiment Guide (available when the kit ships) offers step - by - step instructions, full example code, and troubleshooting tips. This solder - free kit is great for those eager to learn new programming languages or seeking an alternative to the original SparkFun Inventor’s Kit. Note: This product is available for pre - order, expected in stock and shipping by June 29. To avoid delays for in - stock items, uncheck ‘ship complete order’ in your cart. Circuit experiments include Blink, Multiple LEDs, Reading a Sensor - Potentiometer, and more. The kit includes a Tessel 2, White Breadboard, SparkFun Motor Driver, and many other components. Also, access various documents like the Online Experiment Guide (coming soon), Tessel 2 Design Files, and Johnny - Five API.






Using the Johnny - Five Inventor’s Kit is a breeze. First, check all the components in the kit. You'll find a Tessel 2, a breadboard, sensors, and more. Refer to the online Experiment Guide that comes with the kit. It has step - by - step instructions on how to connect each circuit. For example, when doing the 'Blink' experiment, follow the guide to connect the LED and run the provided JavaScript code. If you're new to programming, don't worry. The guide explains the code clearly. As for the hardware, just plug in the components using the jumper wires. There's no need for soldering. When you're using the motors or sensors, make sure they're properly connected to avoid any malfunctions. If something goes wrong, the troubleshooting tips in the guide can help you fix it. Keep the kit in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using the components for a long time, store them properly in a box or a container. And remember, this product is currently for pre - order. If you add it to an order, it might cause a delay. To prevent delays for in - stock items, uncheck the'ship complete order' option in your cart.
