A development board designed for education — not adapted from something else.
Most educational electronics start with a generic dev board and add complexity. BasicEDU was designed the other way: start with the learning experience, then engineer the hardware to support it.
Every component on the PCB has a teaching purpose. The OLED gives instant visual feedback. The buttons enable interactive projects. The buzzer makes abstract concepts audible. Assembling the through-hole components is part of the learning experience — guided by the Quick Start Guide.
Built around the ESP32-C3 — a modern RISC-V microcontroller with Wi-Fi and BLE — BasicEDU takes students from blinking an LED to building wireless connected devices on the same piece of hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
BasicEDU is designed for ages 12 and up. The included Quick Start Guide provides a clear path for beginners. Experienced students and professionals can use the full ESP32-C3 platform for advanced projects.
Yes. BasicEDU is compatible with Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, and ESP-IDF. Board definitions and example projects are provided for each environment.
Yes — the through-hole components are assembled by the student. Buttons, buzzer, and pin headers require basic soldering. SMD components (ESP32-C3, OLED, RGB LED, passives) arrive pre-soldered and tested. The Quick Start Guide includes step-by-step soldering instructions. This is an intentional part of the learning experience.
Yes. Educational discounts are available for orders of 10+ units. Each board includes a printed Quick Start Guide in English and Latvian. Contact us for a quote.
No. BasicEDU includes a JST 2-pin connector for external battery power but does not have an onboard charger. The intended battery option is a 4× AA alkaline holder. USB-C provides power for programming and desktop use.
BasicEDU board, 1 m braided USB-C cable, and printed Quick Start Guide (EN + LV). A component kit with breadboard, jumper wires, LEDs, and resistors is available separately as an optional add-on.
