<p><B>GENIE</B> is a low-cost microcontroller programming system designed exclusively for schools and colleges. The free, user-friendly flowchart software allows you to add intelligence and control to your new and existing design projects. No separate programmer is required and downloading is via a USB or serial cable.<BR><BR>Available from <B>Rapid</B> are three exclusive kits that have been designed to provide a fun and challenging introduction to the <B>GENIE</B> microcontroller system.<BR><BR><B>13-6009 GENIE 08 Activity kit</B><BR>This kit provides a great introduction to the <B>GENIE</B> system. It allows students to control two LEDs and a piezo sounder for making sounds. These outputs can be made to respond to a push switch (for sensing touch) and an LDR (for sensing light).<BR><BR><B>13-6011 GENIE 08 Project kit</B><BR>This 8-pin kit is ideal for adding intelligence to student projects. It is based on an 8-pin <B>GENIE</B> 08 microcontroller providing off-board connections for 2 digital inputs (1 of which can also be used for sensing an analogue signal) and 3 outputs (one of which is buffered to provide medium-power output suitable for controlling lamps and small motors).<BR><BR><B>13-6012 GENIE 08 Jukebox kit</B><BR>This kit allows students to have fun with 2-channel polyphonic music by making use of <B>GENIE's</B> unique ability to play several notes at the same time. Two LED outputs flash in time to the music. A single digital input switch is provided to control the music, such as when creating a musical box project that starts the music playing when the lid is opened.<BR><BR>The kits are designed to work with the <B>GENIE</B> flowchart programming software for Microsoft Windows™ and there are free online resources and community website at <a href="http://www.genieonline.com">www.genieonline.com</a>.</p>
