Beep, beep! Something new is rolling out…

A yellow, 3D-printed BEAPER Bot chassis with an installed BEAPER Pico PCB containing a Raspberry Pi Pico, add on SONAR module , and an add-on LCD panel.

New – BEAPER!

Meet BEAPER! Or, actually, BEAPERs – since there are two of them. BEAPER is our new Beginner Electronics And Programming Educational Robot, and follows in the footsteps (tire tracks?) of ARPS by integrating a variety of common beginner microcontroller circuits with Arduino® Nano ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico.

Once you’ve mastered basic programming, it’s easy to build BEAPER into a simple robot with our customizable BEAPER Bot chassis design!

A breadboard circuit being powered by a USB cable using our new UPS circuit.

UPS!

Are you prototyping microcontroller circuits on breadboards? UPS, our USB Power Stick lets you power your 5V prototype circuits using just a USB-C cable and a phone charger, a USB power brick, or even your laptop computer. No expensive lab power supplies or fiddly 9V batteries and regulators (as used in many classrooms and beginner tutorial circuits) required.

UPS also breaks out the USB D+ and D- data lines enabling you to power and program your USB-enabled circuits at the same time!
