PivotPi Starter Kit: dive into the world of PivotPi

The PivotPi starter kit is compatible with all versions of the Raspberry Pi, and contains all you need to start your first robotics projects using Python, Scratch or other programming languages. It includes all the items already found in the PivotPi base kit, plus:

• A Raspberry Pi 3 board;
• A mini WiFi dongle for all your remote operations (e.g. to control a mobile vehicle remotely);
• An Ethernet cable to program the PivotPi servo controller from a computer;
• A microSD card to store your Raspberry Pi’s critical data; and
• A power supply to save your batteries during the programming phase.

You’ll just need one other thing to get started: a set of 4 AA batteries to power your PivotPi board and operate your 6 servos!
