XRP Accessory Mounts

The world of robotics has always been fascinating, capturing the imaginations of students, makers, and engineers alike. However, delving into robotics used to be a challenging endeavor, requiring intricate technical knowledge and complex assembly processes. Thankfully SparkFun Electronics, in collaboration with WPI, DEKA, Raspberry PI, ST, DAGU, and DigiKey have stepped up to bridge this gap by introducing the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP). The XRP robotics platform is designed to make robotics accessible to anyone seeking to take their first steps into engineering, robotics, and software development.

This guide will walk you through getting the SparkFun Qwiic Twist RGB rotary encoder and the Adafruit 0.91” OLED display to work with the XRP kit's drive_examples.py file. The best part? Both boards are Qwiic and Stemma QT compatible, so no soldering is required, which means you can get started with development quickly!

With this guide, you can load multiple programs ahead of time and use the encoder to select which program to run instead of having to load them individually from the computer each time you want to switch programs. You can find all the details, part links, and full build instructions on DigiKey's Maker.io website here: Innovate with Ease: XRP, Qwiic Encoder, OLED, Buzzer Guide
