About ISA Kit

Intelligent Sensor and Actuator (ISA) kit is an all-in-one educational kit for students and instructors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs to learn and teach about sensors (inputs) and actuators (outputs) through interactive hands-on projects.

service 1

LCD

An LCD screen mounted on the kit provides the information of the signals read from sensors.

service 2

GUI

ISA dashboard provides an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for the user. It functions like an oscilloscope to display signals from the sensors and save the log.

service 3

App

Control the actuators from your smartphone or tablet.
