At PicoKit, we are committed to excellence in Microcontroller Education.

PicoPi Pro is a complete robot platform (in a kit) with Alpha flowchart, or Asm and C text coding software with video tutorials. PicoPi Pro plugs into your computer via the PicoFlow USB Programmer (not included). This kit requires construction and basic soldering experience. 

This is our exemplar robot for use with PicoFlow Alpha software and the PicoFlow USB Programmer
