This guide shows how program these crafty monsters with both Microsoft MakeCode - a block-based programming system that's easy for anyone to use, and CircuitPython, a Python-based language that is the perfect introduction to higher-level programming.

We recently launched the Kitronik Simple Servo Control Board for BBC micro:bit, and Emma wasted no time in putting together three great resources for it. We've included all three resources below, with all of the files needed and step by step instructions for each.

This make is a good example of using a kit which looks like it has only one particular purpose in an entirely new way. What was designed as a Steady Hand Game, in which a loop is passed around a wire maze, is here being used as the circuitry for a surgery-themed game instead!

Full micro:bit edge connector support has now been added to the MakeCode Arcade editor. To highlight this, Jake from our Dev team has put together a code example to demonstrate the functionality of the micro:bit IO under Makecode Arcade.

This make by Kev, our in-house illustrator/designer, is great for the classroom. It ‎combines electronics and design, and the result will look good on a desk, a shelf, ‎or in a workshop.

The CLUE has tons of onboard sensors that can sense movement, ‎light, sound, and environmental measures like temperature and ‎humidity. This project uploads code to the CLUE using PyLeap that ‎uses the CLUE's onboard display to plot all of the sensors' data.

Leap into measuring barometric pressure!

In this blog we are going to cover how to improve on our Cardboard Pico Drawing Robot Arm.

Leap into controlling NeoPixels over BLE!

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.

Do the batty bat with CircuitPython.
