PCB Design and Make is an effective tool to design and make Printed circuit boards without the danger of chemicals. Prototypes are a breeze

2D Design is a program deigned for students of all ages. Introduce important concepts that lay the foundation for CAD

Roland software is a pleasure to use. Engrave, 2D Engrave, 3D machine and scan- all with an easy interface

CAD Products

Computer Aided Design or CAD products deal with the specific use of computers to design products or components such as printed circuit boards. Techsoft UK Design Tools- 2D Design and Design Tools -PCB Design and Make are supported by Intellecta and the products aim at creating skills in these important areas.

The excellent Roland machines are supported by a suite of engraving, machining and scanning software.

 

CAM Products

Computer Aided Manufacture resources from Roland convert the designs into end products.

Intellecta is the premium Roland education distributor in Australia and supports engravers, mills, scanners and other products. The aim is to use the CAM process as a backbone of other subject areas.

Control

Control Technology is an exciting area that links electronics to elements such as motors, switches, sensors, pneumatics. This area covers the exciting PICAXE resources electronics projects as well as specific Intellecta control products.

Intellecta is a great prototype development area that gives students the opportunity to try their ideas in control. The strategies can be used in control examples that reinforce planning and thinking as well as the usual logic gates and data acquisition examples.

Mechatronics

Linking systems with electronics is the domain of mechatronics.

The Intellecta mechatronics kit is an ideal system to construct rugged computer controlled machines such as washing machines, door openers, train crossings, robot arms etc.

Models are rugged and can take the stress of motors and even extra pneumatic components.

Science

Measurement is a very important learning attribute and these resources focus on science applications.

Intellecta and science

Intellecta designs all the interfaces to have sensor inputs. This means it is easy to add a science measurement project with a control element.

For example, you can measure the transmission of three leds through a solution by controlling the lights and using a light sensor. The Intellecta strategy is very easy to set up and students are involved in the experiment set up - different from canned software that shows the data.

Energy and Motion module

A good percentage of modern Physics courses focus on Newtons Laws, their applications and running experiments.

Intellecta has designed an integrated vehicle that measures distance, speed and acceleration. This data is then analysed as a record of the vehicle’s motion.

The module complements the K’NEX Roller coaster kit and is a useful addition to the modern Physics classroom. Here the vehicle also records kinetic and potential energy.

Typical curves show the sudden acceleration as the vehicle enters the loop, change in speed as it goes around the loop and the gradual deceleration around the track.

eloggers - starting off in science

Many of our customers want a low cost multi-probe unit that can get students to use data loggers in a range of experiments.

The elogger is our answer - 2 steel tubed temperature sensors and 2 light sensors enables students to run meaningful experiments.

Furthermore, the system can run straight off the serial port and does not need any power connections.

The software is simple and elegant. Just set up the max and min values for the temperature and light, select the sample rate. Press the start button and you are away.

Data can be easily transported via the clipboard to Microsoft Excel and other packages..
