Snekboard – An open-hardware python microcontroller for LEGO, now on Crowd Supply, go back it!
Learn, Teach, Experiment, and Play with Robots
Snekboard is an open hardware development board that’s designed to let you hook up to LEGO Power Functions* motors and switches so you can build robots out of LEGO and control them with CircuitPython or the simpler Snek programming language.
Snekboard is 48 x 48 mm – the same size as 6 x 6 LEGO studs – so you can easily build a LEGO enclosure for the board and attach it to your creation. It is powered by a 3.7 V, 900 mAh single-cell Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery that fits under the board and charges over USB while Snekboard is being programmed from the host.
Back this project, read the post, check out Keith’s site with Snek, and Twitter. The Snekboard is also on circuitpython.org (and we took some photos of the one Keith let us check out!).
We are a backer! And have covered Keith’s work on the Adafruit blog.
