XK01 Support materials

The XK01 kit is versatile and perfect for the classroom.

Students at Soneike High School, Western Cape, South Africa, using the XK01 to send data via the Internet of Things (IoT) to their computer

To help you get the most out of your kit we are constantly releasing new support materials: experiments, how-to guides projects and lesson plans. Even apps: there is a link to an app below that you can use to make custom enclosures for xChip configurations to 3D print.

This page has links to a range of materials that will show you how to do all sorts of different things with your kit. And check back - we're adding more stuff all the time.

Getting Started:

Find out how to get your XK01 kit setup and connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) in this Quick Start Guide for XK01.

Sample Arduino Code for the Weather Station:

We have developed code for the Weather Station Application, and this is easy to flash to your WiFi Core, the CW01. Please watch this video on how to install XinaBox Uploader both on Windows and Mac, including the various security obstacles: https://youtu.be/9gqqlrcT1rE. The video uses the new YouTube chapters feature, allowing you to jump to the chapter for your Operating System. 

The code to select in the drop down is "XK01 Kibana".

Virtual Workshops and Space Camps:

XinaBox regularly schedules virtual workshops and camps so that students can experiment at home. the outlines and schedules can be found on this page, which is updated regularly.

Lesson plans and experiments:

There is a growing body of experiments that you can use your XK01 to conduct:

    Make your own 3D printed enclosures:

    Why not build an enclosure for your XK01 kit?

    Use the XinaBox enclosure design app to design a bespoke enclosure for your kit that you can print on a 3D printer.

    Learn more about the xChips:

    Whilst the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts, each of the xChips in the XK01 kit can be used separately in a number of different ways:

    Going further with the XK01 and XinaBox:

    Did you know that you can use the XK01 kit with the BBC micro:bit?  Or a Raspberry Pi? All you need is the right bridge: check out the full range of development boards that have XinabBox bridges.

    There are over 80 xChips in our range, with more being added all the time. Extend your kit with all sorts of capabilities and functions, including
