uCode

Software you can use alone or pair with uKit AI and uKit Explore/Advanced

uCode is a web programming environment that takes coding to the next level. Students of all levels can program using block-based coding and dual text-based programming. uCode not only programs uKit robots but goes above and beyond, allowing students to create digital games and animations, drive 3D simulations, and utilize real-time AI programming.


In order to connect the UKIT Advanced board and uKit AI within uCode, users must install and open the uCode Connection Assistant (PC or Mac) within uCode (they will be prompted when trying to connect).
