{"product_id":"sparkfun-kitronik-autonomous-robotics-platform-for-pico","title":"SparkFun Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Pico","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico is a fun and hands-on introduction to buggy robotics. The easy to follow booklet provided with the kit guides you through all of the steps required for you to take control of your robot. The Robotics Platform has been designed to grow with you and provided additional servo and ultrasonic sensor connectors for more advanced projects. This buggy requires a Raspberry Pi Pico with pin headers attached.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe kit is supplied with the autonomous robotics platform chassis, 2 wheels and tires, a Kitronik line-following sensor board, and an ultrasonic sensor. The kit requires no soldering and only minimal mechanical assembly. Fit the tires to the wheels, push the wheels onto the pre-mounted motors and both the line following sensor and ultrasonic distance sensor plug straight into the board. Once put together, push the Raspberry Pi Pico into the onboard connector, add 4 x \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/products\/15201\"\u003eAlkaline AA batteries\u003c\/a\u003e to the battery holders underneath and you are done. Your robot buggy is ready for instruction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe included booklet guides you through every step of getting to know your robot. It contains a detailed assembly guide, info on preparing the Raspberry Pi Pico, instructions for installing an editor (Thonny), and instructions on how to write code for every feature of the Robotics Platform. No corner of the board is left unexplained.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs well as the easy to follow getting started guide, we have also produced online tutorials which go into more detail on coding the key features of the board. The links to the tutorials can be found in the resources section at the foot of this page.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo help make programming the robot as simple as possible, Kitronik has developed a set of Micropython modules, which can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/KitronikLtd\/Kitronik-Pico-Autonomous-Robotics-Platform-MicroPython\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.
