HX-916 Multi‑Coin Selector – Modules
The HX‑916 Multi‑Coin Selector is a compact, programmable module that lets students explore the physics of magnetism, the mathematics of probability, and the engineering of mechanical systems, all through hands‑on manipulation of real coins. Designed to plug directly into any standard STEM kit, the selector uses a precision‑aligned magnetic carousel and interchangeable sensor pads to identify, sort, and route up to 12 different coin types in seconds.
In the classroom, learners will program the selector with block‑based or Python code, experiment with sorting algorithms, and collect data on speed, accuracy, and energy consumption. By adjusting magnetic strength, tilt angle, and sensor thresholds, students gain a deep understanding of electromagnetism, data analysis, and iterative design. The module also includes a curriculum guide that ties each activity to NGSS standards for forces, energy, and computational thinking.
Key features; high‑resolution Hall‑effect sensors, adjustable magnetic field coils, plug‑and‑play connectivity, and an open‑source firmware, make the HX‑916 an ideal bridge between theory and practice. Its real‑world relevance to vending machines, recycling systems, and automated manufacturing sparks curiosity, while the interdisciplinary challenges nurture creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration; core pillars of a robust STEAM education.
