Christmas is now just a few weeks away and we want to make sure that everyone gets their orders delivered in good time. We've complied all of the facts and dates into a single list.

We are very proud to announce that Kitronik is now an official Raspberry Pi reseller. From a customer and company viewpoint, this is a very exciting milestone for us. Whether you're in a school, attending a code club, or you're an at-home Maker, there is going to be plenty to be excited about in the near future.

Learn how to write code to take control of the motors on the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics for Raspberry Pi Pico (Pico-ARP). Learn how to get the wheels turning, at the same speed, and how to turn your Pico-ARP into a drawing bot.

Learn to code the additional features of the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics platform for Raspberry Pi Pico. Take control of the Pico-ARP Buzzer, button, & Lights. The resource contains code and a full walk-through of how it works.

Learn how to take control of the line following sensors on the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for the Raspberry Pi Pico. Work through this resource and learn how to add line following to your buggy.

Learn how to add distance sensing and obstacle avoidance to the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Pico. The buggy is supplied with a distance sensor, learn how to add more autonomy to your robot with this guide.

The ARP has 4 servo connections. These can be used to control standard hobby servos. The servo connectors are located 2 towards the rear of the ARP, just outside the motors, and 2 towards the front, by the ultrasonic connector. Learn how to set up and code for the servos to enhance your robotics project.

The Pico can be programmed in a number of languages. This guide is for MicroPython – a Python implementation for micro controllers, and uses the Thonny editor. This guide provides everything you need to know to get going with Pico and MicroPython.

Happy Spooky Season everyone! Emma's back with another edge-lit project for you all, using our brand new USB RGB LED Strip! We've made this from our clear value value range of cheap acrylic sheets but you can use whatever you have to hand. We've found that clear works best for these types of signs, especially when used with an RGB light source.

The live tech talk team are back with another installment of live chat. Join us on YouTube on the Tues 5th October @ 10:30AM BST for information and live Q&A. This time we'll be taking a close look at the Kitronik Air Quality Board for micro:bit.
