Kitronik Pen Lifter for the Autonomous Robotics Platform for Pico

Get creative with the Pen Lifter add-on for the Autonomous Robotics Platform. This add-on allows you to take full advantage of the pen hole in the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform (Buggy) for Pico.

Once fitted, the add-on lets you control when the pen is in use with code. The assembly holds the pen firmly in place and the supplied servo can be used to raise and lower the pen, allowing users to create complex patterns without any unsightly travel marks.

The kit comprises 3 laser cut parts, a single 180-degree servo, a rubber band, and the fixings required for assembly. It requires no soldering but involves simple mechanical assembly. A booklet is provided to guide you through the assembly process.

We have created an online guide with MicroPython code to help you get started quickly, compatible with Thonny and other code editors.
