What our customers are saying

“Our son can read because of your kits... He couldn't read and thought there was no point in it, but he discovered he had to learn to read to use the manual. It was hard going for a seven year old, but he's now 10 and in the top band for literacy, and he even tells the story of how Microbric ('robie' as it's called here) made him learn to read” – C. Nicoll 

"Microbric really is a fantastic kit for young boys and girls to learn about model building, mechanical-electrical interfacing and software programming"
- S. Brauen, Scout Leader

Microbric Electronic Connection Technology
Microbric is a solderless electronic construction system.

Microbric allows users to build complex customised electronic devices with little or no prior electronics knowledge. The system is completely solderless and the electronic connection system not only makes the necessary electrical connections, but also holds the assembly together in a robust manner.

Microbric's modular solderless technology is assembled by joining different modules called brics using screws and spacers to connect the different modules to the motherboard

All Microbric constructions use a motherboard containing a programmable microcontroller. Connected to the motherboard are peripheral modules. Peripheral modules have specific functions, and connect the motherboard with the outside world.

Some of Microbric’s current modules are:

Motor modules
Switch modules
Button modules
Infrared receiving modules
LED (light) modules
Infrared communication modules
Buzzer modules
Light sensing modules

Upcoming modludes include:

Relay modules
Temperature sensor modules
Wireless communications modules

The possibilities are endless! You can build and program your electronic device, controller or robot by selecting different modules.

Technical information

Microbric is a system of interconnecting electronic modules, which enables the rapid development of customised electronic devices. At the core of the system is the ‘Microbric edge’ and connector 'bric'. A single Microbric edge consists of three conductors power, ground and data. A plastic bric is used to connect two Microbric edges side by side. Clamping screws and spacers are used to complete the electrical connection and to hold the assembly together.

Microbric's durable modules are connected to the mother board usinc scews. Each module has a specific function, such as switch modules, light modules etc. The modules, and robot can then be programed to perform specific tasks using th emodules.

Each module is made up of a number of Microbric units, each unit is 800mil x 800mil (20.3mm x 20.3mm). This leads to the standardisation of module sizes for example a 2 unit by 3 unit module measures 1600 mil x 2400 mil (40.6mm x 60.9mm).

Microbric uses a systems approach to constructing devices. Each module serves a different function, for example: microcontroller motherboards, communication modules, motor control modules, memory modules, sensor modules, display modules, power supply modules, human interface modules etc.

Microbric modules do not deteriorate with use and can be reused many times.The plastic brics are made from nylon and the same bric is used for both horizontal connection and vertical connection (stacking) of modules.The spacers are nickel-plated brass hex4 with a M2 thread. The double ended spacers increment in units of 2mm from 8mm to 14mm. The short spacers (nuts) are 3 mm in length and are only used for horizontally connecting modules where as the longer spacers are used for stacking modules.The modules are made from 2mm fibreglass PCB material, which is double sided with 'flash' gold plated pads and contacts. Both sides have red and black silk screening to help identify the positive and negative contact.

Microbric products are ideally suited to:

Educational institutions to teach electronics, robotics and programing
Research and Development Departments as a prototyping tool
Enthusiasts & hobbyists
