Sažetak
This paper describes the application of the VIDIX development microcomputer for educational purposes. VIDI-X is a platform developed entirely in Croatia and another great way to popularize STEM and learn new skills. VIDI-X is based on a dual-core ESP 32 processor and comes with a temperature sensor, a microphone, and a 2.8" touch screen. The possibilities of connection and application are enormous considering the diverse communication possibilities (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR). VIDI-X is a significantly more powerful platform than Arduino, and unlike the Raspberry Pi computer, it does not need an operating system, and it can be programmed on a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS computer. It is possible to work in Python, C, C++, JavaScript, and other popular programming languages. Our students first installed the Arduino IDE on their laptops, and then connected the laptops to VIDI-X, and a series of exercises followed that combine the use of software and hardware. Our experience with this platform in the undergraduate computing curricula, at both the high school and college levels is presented here.
