INTRODUCTION
Sparki is an affordable, easy to
use, and fun intro to programming, electronics, and robotics. It is geared
towards kids elementary-age and above, educators looking for an easy intro to
robotics, parents eager to find something affordable but educational and fun,
DIY enthusiasts, and more. It is simple enough for beginners, while being
feature-packed enough to be a must-have for pro-users. Sparki is your chance to
have your very own robot, completely open source and available to do your bidding.

SPECIFICATION
·
Completely Arduino-compatible, the
controller use the Arduino Leonardo
·
Low cost, but much to play;
·
No assembly required;
·
A lot example codes for test;(Some
advanced concepts may not offered,but you may find it in sparki community)
·
Wireless control through bluetooth;
·
And So many sensors:
·
1x Ultrasonic distance sensor (get
distance from Sparki to walls/objects)
·
1x 3-Axis Accelerometer (pick-up
detection, fall detection, hill climbing)
·
1x 3-Axis Magnetometer (sense the
magnetic field around Sparki, coordinate with accelerometer to detect compass
heading)
·
3x Light-sensing phototransistors
(light following, darkness seeking)
