Expand your creative horizons with an additional 14 themed topics. Build a line-following sports car with underglow and gullwing doors that open upon reaching your destination, a basketball arcade that can keep score, a transforming robot, and so much more. This pack is all about programming with color in mind: From the amazing RGB LED that adds an array of colors to any robot, to a color sensor which lets you sort objects by hue, there's a rainbow of options included.
Not only that, the pack also includes two versatile infrared sensors, which can either be set to digital or analog modes. Digital infrared lets your robots make quick decisions, following lines you draw with both speed and accuracy. Analog infrared gives you the tools to sense distance and disruption, working like an automatic gate or faucet to move without needing touch input.
With all these new sensors, there are more than a dozen new models to create, and revolutionize the way you explore, learn, and create in the realm of robotics!

Wireless single-board computer
Makeblock Halocode is a single-board computer with built-in Wi-Fi. Designed for programming education, its compact design integrates a broad selection of electronic modules. Pairing with block-based programming software mBlock, Halocode offers all sorts of opportunities to experience AI & IoT applications with just a few clicks; it makes creation easy and fun.
Built-in Wi-Fi modules, for everyday creations
Easy IoT1 applications: Using mBlock software*, students can connect to the Internet in just 3 simple steps. mBlock makes it easy to use IoT applications and create simple, smart home devices.
1. IoT, or the Internet of Things, refers to an interconnection via the Internet of all devices, enabling the digitisation and management of all kinds of smart devices and facilities.
*Available soon on Mobile ends.
LAN2 functionality: Different Wi-Fi modules enable “wireless” or even “limitless” connections between multiple Halocodes, meaning they can provide creative effects such as dreamlike digital art.
2. LAN, or Local Area Network, allows devices to connect and communicate with each other without routing.
Support AI speech recognition
Featuring a microphone module and supporting mBlock-integrated Microsoft Cognitive Services, Halocode makes AI speech recognition super-easy to use. Students can learn to apply this cutting-edge technology by creating a fun, interactive playmate or voice-activated device.
Integrate various sensors for electronic projects
Offering all sensors needed to lead Halocode “sensory”, a variety of sensors are embedded onto a circuit board with only 45mm in diameter. Thus, Halocode can respond to touch, sound, and movement via programming. An ideal elementary device for your electronic projects such as a wearable fitness watch for step tracking.
Coding made easy with multi-thread programming
4MB of memory and an Xtensa dual-core 32-bit LX6 microprocessor empower Halocode's powerful computing capabilities. It puts the “creative” back in creation, by allowing multiple programs to run simultaneously and synchronizing complex and diverse functions. For example, an art installation of a kitten that simultaneously blinks and wags its tail.
▲ The powerful specs of Halocode enable multiple sub-programs to run simultaneously. With mBlock, a few lines of code are already sufficient for making a playful gadget with various functions (left). For other similar products on the market, support usually single-thread programming, complicated layout, and arithmetic logic are required to achieve the same gameplay (right).
Coding with mBlock is as simple as stacking building blocks
Designed explicitly for coding education, Halocode works perfectly with the programming software mBlock. Students can drag and drop the command blocks to code, making programming as intuitive and straightforward as playing building blocks. Mastering coding logic quickly enables students to focus on what’s most important during making: creativity.
Move on to Python coding with a simple click
After grasping how to program with blocks, you can effortlessly convert to Python coding with just a click in mBlock. It displays the relationship between the two languages and shows the changes in real-time. For more playful ideas together with mBlock and Halocode, you can code directly in the Python editor. Step up to text-based coding empowers creations with higher degrees of freedom and endless possibilities.
Get to Machine Learning in AI. In a playful and reinventing way
In addition to using Microsoft Cognitive Services, students can also get to machine learning through mBlock’s integrated Google Machine Learning application. Halocode provides all-around support for students’ first experience of artificial intelligence.
Plugging with specific mBuild electronic modules, Halocode can be further used to meet the needs of STEAM education. Students can freely create a smart curtain, a fire warning device for people with disabilities, or even a greenhouse ecosystem.

Me Line Follower Array is specially designed for professional users who need to make line-following robots, such as makers. It has 6 pair infrared probes on which the high-precision comparators will compare the detected colors. Compared to Me Line Follower, it has higher precision. When black line on the white background is detected by the comparators, the LED light will turn on and the robot will move along the black line. On the contrary, when the white line on the black background is detected, robot will follow the white line. You can also adjust the detecting sensibility with the potentiometer beside the probes, so that the probes will be adapted to different surroundings and detecting heights. This module utilizes unibus to transmit data. The MCU inside is used to send data to the main control.
This module requires users to program.

Arduino programming
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy to use hardware and software. The Arduino software consists of a development environment (IDE) and the core libraries. The IDE is written in Java and based on the Processing development environment. The core libraries are written in C and C++ and compiled using avr-gcc and AVR Libc.
