The ENTRY series from Nextlab.tech is a classical electronics and robotics kit family compatible with the Arduino IDE, designed for classroom use as well as individual study. The kits are ideal for structured lessons, STEM laboratories, and technology classes, while also supporting self-paced learning and home experimentation.
The ENTRY series is available in three versions: ENTRY I, ENTRY II, and ENTRY III, allowing educators and learners to choose the level that best matches their experience and curriculum needs. Each version builds progressively, offering a clear learning path from basic electronics to more advanced Arduino-based projects.
All ENTRY kits are based on the ATmega328 microcontroller, fully compatible with the Arduino IDE, and use the modern ATmega328PB variant, which provides enhanced functionality while maintaining full Arduino compatibility.
The programmable board included in the ENTRY kits is manufactured in the European Union, ensuring high quality, reliability, and compliance with European manufacturing standards.
ENTRY kits are ideal for classroom environments because they support hands-on, project-based learning with real electronic components. Teachers can use them for demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual or group projects, while students gain practical experience with electronics, sensors, and programming in C/C++ using the Arduino IDE.
Thanks to the wide range of components and sensors included, students can build and program a variety of Arduino projects, such as:
- Blinking and fading LEDs using digital and PWM outputs
- Traffic light systems with timed logic
- RGB LED color mixing and control
- Button-controlled interactive circuits
- Temperature and humidity monitoring systems
- Ultrasonic distance measurement and obstacle detection
- Light-sensitive projects using phototransistors
- Servo motor positioning and control
- DC motor speed and direction control using an H-bridge
- Sound effects and alarms using a piezo buzzer
- Displaying sensor data on a 16×2 LCD screen
- Basic automation projects driven by sensor input
The ENTRY III kit contains:
