The third make in the Simple Servo Kit makes series, this is a fairground swing boat ride propelled by a wheel which runs along the underside of the boat. It only uses one Servo, and so is still a relatively simple make. Follow along with Emma and learn how to make your own. Find out more...

Fourth in the Simple Servo Kit make series is a fun little remote control car! Using the radio functions on the BBC micro:bit you will make the two servos respond to various inputs on a micro:bit being used as a remote control. Follow Emma's process and make your own simple radio controlled car for the BBC micro:bit.

From the 7-9th October "Maker Faire Rome – The European Edition" is back at the Gazometro Ostiense and is celebrating 10 years of innovation. We will be joining our good friends and MFR Partners Digi-Key Electronics and showing off a selection of our innovative products. See you there?

The Kitronik team are back with another Tech Talk. This time we're exploring our new Materials, Computing & Design & Technology Catalogue 2022-2023. Alasdair & Emma will go through it and highlight newly added products and resources. Set your reminder!

We hope everyone had a great summer and that you're ready for the year ahead. The start of the new school year also marks a new catalogue release from Kitronik. We are pleased to bring you the new Materials, Computing & Design & Technology Catalogue 2022-2023.

With the next excuse to dress up (Halloween) rapidly approaching, we can’t help but start to plan our costumes! Here is the first inspiration we’re sharing with you: HIPS makes for great heat-formed and laser cut costume parts! Find out more and make your own!

This make is all about including the Temperature Gauge in a clock make! The two often go hand in hand, and some clocks even display air pressure and humidity too. Read on to find out how we included the temperature module in our clock make, and how to make a sheet of Metalgraph ooze 1920s Art Deco style!

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!

It’s time for another make! This is a neat little edge-lit stand for our new USB LED Strip with Light Sensor, complete with a tiny sleeping panda! You can customise the design all you’d like, including changing the colour of the edge-lit design and the stand. Read on to learn how Emma made this!
