Making open-science great again!

For a general introduction on UC2 please check our main repository. Our basic belief centers around simple and clean modularity which - combined with creativity and curiosity - can lead to unbelievable achievements.

Getting Started

Like with our toolbox we tried to keep our interfaces modular as well. Therefore, hardware (like Motors, LED, ...) can be adressed using

and could even be a mixture of both.Further, to control this components we provide two different graphical user interfaces (GUI):

All useful links will be provided after the general shape of the repository is shortly displayed.

Getting Started using the Raspberry Pi GUI

Find a detailed description here

Getting Started using the Android APP

We have prepared a very basic control app for TheBox to have basic control over the hardware modules. The information can be found here.

Setting up the Micro-Controller

Depending on the micro-controller that will be connected the code that is needed for flashing can be found in different folders.
