Get experimental with the Badgeware STEM kit

Badgeware has a handy Qw/ST expansion port on the back, letting you plug in hundreds of sensors and add-ons and unlock a whole new world of interactivity.

Multi-Sensor Stick
  • Bosch BME280 for temperature, pressure, and humidity
  • Lite-On LTR-559ALS-01 for light and proximity
  • ST LSM6DS3TR-C for motion sensing
  • 50mm Qw/ST cable

This trio of sensors lets you build projects that react to their surroundings. Monitor indoor climate, sense light levels or nearby movement, track steps or gestures, and create devices that respond to taps, tilt, or free-fall.

We figured if you like sensors as much as we do, why not put three great ones together? The result is a tiny, stick-shaped board that effortlessly enables all kinds of smart projects.

Gamepad
  • 4 Γ— Direction control buttons
  • 4 Γ— Action buttons
  • 2 Γ— System buttons
  • 4 Γ— Bright white LEDs
  • 200mm Qw/ST cable

Eight chunky buttons for inputs (plus two smaller buttons for system functions) and four user controllable white LEDs to use for whatever you like.

We've added cuttable traces on the back to change the I2C address of each Qw/ST Pad so you can have up to four Qw/ST Pads connected at the same time - perfect for multiplayer shenanigans!
