To highlight the fantastic learning potential of the Kitronik ZIP96 for Pico we devised three sets of free lesson plans. There are 11 lessons per game (10 for Reversi) and the lessons include curriculum mapping, practical exercises, a linked PowerPoint presentation, a PDF handout, and a completed code example.

Overview In this blog we are going to look at how to wirelessly control the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Pico with the Kitronik Mini C...

This blog explores creating a wireless two-player game, like Run Along, Jump & Jump. We start with the basic design, focusing on how the core game functionality works in both single-player and two-player. Then we move on to how the wireless communication in the two-player version works from a high-level design view.

In this first blog of a series we are going to cover how we can create a drawing robot arm out of cardboard using three servos, a Raspberry Pi Pico and the Kitronik Simply Servos for Pico board. Then we’ll move onto how to use the DrawingRobot Python library we created for the Pico. Find out more...

In this blog we are going to cover how to improve on our Cardboard Pico Drawing Robot Arm. This will be done in three stages. In the first section we will upgrade the servos we use to construct the robot arm, as well as make our arm sturdier using pencils. In the second section we will learn how to draw images.

The biggest challenge behind making the Cardboard and Advanced drawing robot arms was figuring out how to move the arm to a specific position. This is needed so that we can use the line coordinates from our vectorised images to move the robot arm and draw the image. Find out more...

Using a Raspberry Pi Pico to record how long it takes for a battery to drain In this tutorial we’ll demonstrate how a Raspberry Pi Pico can be used along with some simple electronic components and Python code to record the voltage of a AA battery. Learn more...

Learn how to get creative with the Kitronik Pen Lifter add-on for the Autonomous Robotics Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico. The guide contains MicroPython code that you can copy into Thonny and then copy over to the Pico. Find out more!

Experiment 9 from the Inventors Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico, in which we explore a capacitor charging circuit. Included in this resource are code downloads, a description of the experiment and also a video walk-through. This resource provides additional help and is not meant to replace the documentation.
