Tech fans what's up welcome back once again to TECA tomorrow now right off the bat I want to say that today's video was sponsored by Aquino we're going to be taking a look at the pixel kit which is something very interesting now the pixel kit is a light board that features 128 LEDs that's very easy to put together and code with it's not only fun it's totally educational and you can learn how to code simply by downloading the Kano app so with that said let's jump in let's check out the unboxing and see why you guys are going to think this thing is not only fun it's totally a learning tool as well so first off folks obviously here's the Box in front of the box the back of the box for all those people who care about that stuff but I'm going to ahead and pop the cap here and inside right off the bat you guys are going to see this little thing it says let's go now inside of this that's where all the information that you're going to need to set this thing up and get going so I'll go ahead and just open the other flap right here this isn't a little flap right here I'll spin that back around for you guys to see so you guys can see that better and you guys can see all the parts and everything are right here in the box so nothing's like going oh my god what do I need to do well there actually is one requirement that is required to use the Kano product and that is that you do need to have the ability to read whoever's putting it together so after that point you can probably plan the computer forever but to put it together you need to read so take a look here this little book right here is I'm looking at this is about making make a light board so this is obviously one of the things that's telling you what to do get there and then now let me visit some nice stickers oh yeah so you know kids love stickers we all know that and even a lot of people even adults like stickers on their guitar cases on their stuff so your person who like stickers paint knows got you covered okay what else we got in here looks like even more stickers okay so there is a mass variety of stickers in here just a lot of stickers so he likes stickies hey I got you covered anything else in there nope it is empty okay so so it says hi I'm judoka your pixel pal and I'm going to help you build and code your own whiteboard ready let's go so that's the first step so the first thing we're going to see is here is the pixel brain that's this particular part right here this is the parts are telling me to get out and have in my little hot hands and you guys concedes that there's a three USB ports along the side here a little turning control knob right here and then an additional button over here which is probably most likely the power button I don't know that for sure yet but I'm just kind of guessing that's what it is so next up is the case so this is your case whoops sliding around guess I set it off to the side for a second here is your case a little different than your standard PC case really really small then we've got additional USB cable right here this is obviously what's going to plug into your computer because you plug one end into the pixel kit and the other into your computer so we've got a mode dial that's this particular piece right here the mode dial in joystick and buttons okay joystick and buttons I see these buttons right here these little tiny red things right there make sure you guys can see them on camera everything little red buttons I'll set these all out here okay we have the battery kind of looks like exactly the same as you see like almost like a standard phone battery so here's your battery I'd imagine I can probably put that in here now just popped right into place pretty much just like your phone like I said this is a filter I guess a little light filter to fuse your light so it looks okay then we've got the tilt sensor now what the tilt sensor does is this actually when you have it put together yo guys will see you can play games with this you know like playing a little handheld game or with the lights you can do fancy things of your life and the lights will move according to how you move it so it's like a strap to hold together I'm just looking here and see if there's anything else additionally in here I don't think so I think that's pretty much it as far as the parts go well it does say there's a K no code app but I guess since that's just telling you to download the app online so obviously you have to download the app to be doing it through your computer ok so finally get to the actual instructions pick up the brain turn it over alright I've turned it over this is its computer and I figured that go through here look through this thing done Siddhanta oh what's also cool is that through a microphone you can actually talk to the lightboard computer using the k no code app as well so that's kind of cool didn't really know it did that so the two red little buttons they go over here on this side very easy to do they just simply pop right on there it's not magic the last piece you're going to put in the circuit board before you put it in the case is the dial it has little knots right here so once you match the notch on it slides right on and then you just simply put it inside the case set it down nice and gently there's a thing on the bottom of the case that actually locks it in place so that way doesn't fall off anymore and then you just finish the final assembly actually a lot easier that I'm making it look like I just like I said folks I shake a lot to my nerve damage but there we go and then after you have it boot just simply hit the power button and then once all the lights are on you simply lastly plug in the tilt sensor and you are ready to go and if you want to show off all the things you've done your pixel kit on the bottom there's even a mount where you can put it on a tripod now the scrolling up on the side you guys can see there are numbers 1 2 & 3 these are your programmable profiles and once you get this set and you do stuff that you're going we're going to show you later on you can actually program three of your own things in here and bring those up at any time between the two now on the front we have a joystick this controls your up and down left and right and then we have your a B buttons to scroll through the different aspects and stuff that you're doing but honestly there's hours of stuff you can play around with this before you even get into the programming aspect but now let's jump in and let's see why the pixel kit is a great educational tool for children all the way up to adults who want to have fun and learn at the same time the first step of getting set up and doing your program with the pixel kit is connecting a USB cable one end goes into the pixel kit and the other goes into any available USB port on your computer now whether you use a Mac or you use a PC you simply download the app to match your system and then you can be up then going now once you do this you're going to find yourself in a world where you can get lost for hours and hours and hours they have lots of different tutorials that you can check out and work with they also have a bunch of different things that you can do now one thing really cool about this but I think is going to be awesome is programming this with whites to put inside of a PC for a PC mod now if you guys would like to see that easily but comment down below because I think this would be a really excellent thing to put right in the very front of your PC or on a side window and have something just scrolling by item making your system look even more awesome but we'll talk about that a little later once you get the software up and on your computer you can find that the programming is really simple there's drag-and-drop options on the left hand side and on the right hand side you can see all the options for doing Java scripting like I said earlier the best thing about the pixel kit however is that anyone can use it from a child all the way to an adult there are games and different things you can do another thing that's really cool about the pixel kit is that other people upload their projects onto the net and you can take their projects and change them around and make those your own and that's just something that's really incredible you can take someone else's project change it around and then totally make it custom and personalized for you alright so you've made this cool game and you've made this cool project for you're like hey man what can I do with it we'll check it out you can actually upload it onto the pixel kit and use one of those three profiles to store your ideas right here are you someone out there who's always play games with thought man I'd really like to make my own game which you're always kind of like afraid that you couldn't do it with the pixel kit though you know you absolutely can do it because you can take baby steps and take your education one step at a time until you become the master of your realm all right folks real quick before I bounce out of here a special thanks to people over kano for making today's video possible and providing the kano for us I got to say though for $79 this is an absolutely great deal you spend $10 almost every meal you spend five to fifteen dollars going to a movie per hour two hours and you're in there and with the Kano this thing is just pretty much like I said unlimited you will get sucked in trust me I give you my absolute word of honor if you start playing with this you will be sucked in and have lots of fun you'll sit in front of that computer doing stuff and you look up and hours and hours have passed because you've just been having fun at the same time you can take a look at all that programming stuff and see how it's done until your mind put those two things together I'm at work you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow like usual they'll be linked down below where you guys can get one of these things for yourself and have all the fun in the world that we're having here at tech of tomorrow so peace out
