E-blocks are small circuit boards each of which contains a block of electronics that you would typically find in an electronic system. Each E-block performs a separate function as either an input sub-system, an output sub-system, or a processing sub-system. E-blocks can be snapped together to form a wide variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems. The range consists of:

Hardware
More than 40 separate circuit boards including device programmers, simple LED and switch boards and more complex boards like Bluetooth and TCP/IP.

Software
A variety of compilers and assemblers to enable you to program microcontrollers in flowcharts, C and assembly code, and to program CPLD/FPGAs in block diagrams, Verilog or VHDL.

Curriculum
More than 15 CD ROMs which include complete courses - catering for the complete novice to system design, through to undergraduate engineers who need to learn C programming.

Accessories and sensors
A range of more than 50 sensors and accessories for academic project work and industrial development.

E-blocks are used by more than 1000 educational institutions world-wide (including universities in China, throughout Europe and the USA) and in a larger number of companies across the world, including Qinetic and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority in the UK.
