Sketching with hardware requires some hardware components. To create a functional prototype, we typically need a microcontroller, sensors, actuators, and components to link the parts together.

Only a small set of parts is required to get started and follow the course. You can do many of the exercises and tutorials with only a microcontroller (e.g., ESP32, ESP8266), a few LEDs, and some resistors. We recommend getting started, and once you like building things, then get a hardware kit.

In the following list, we marked the components in the LMU hardware box with LMUBox.

Microcontroller and Main Boards

Actuators

Sensors (and physical controllers)

Components

Tools and Connectors

Wearables / Smart Watches
