Flotilla is a range of smart, friendly, and affordable modules that you connect together to create amazing projects that can sense and react to the world around them. Brought to you by Pimoroni, the Flotilla Mega Treasure Chest Starter Kit is their ultimate Flotilla package.

You'll get fourteen Flotilla modules, three complete kits - the audibly offensive Noisemaker synth, a cute little paper-craft mood light, and an all-singing, all-dancing line-following robot - as well as eight other super-simple Cookbook recipes to get you up and running in two turns of a ship's wheel -- wow!

The Mega Treasure Chest includes:

Color module -- ideal for using in line-following robots, detecting fruits, or sorting M&M's!
Dial module -- perfect for using as a simple game controller for games like pong
Joystick module -- use it to steer your robot, or to control the boosters on your rocket
2 x Light module -- remind yourself when you've left the lights on in your house
Matrix module -- perfect for scrolling text on, or using as a tiny marble maze
Motion module -- use it as a tilt-sensitive controller for games
2 x Motor module -- ideal for driving your robot, or a tiny fan
Number module -- perfect as a clock, or a countdown timer
Rainbow module -- makes the perfect little mood light
Slider module -- perfect for using as a synth controller
Touch module -- ideal for reaction time games, or a tiny piano

Noisemaker synth kit -- channel your inner superstar DJ with Adafruit's Noisemaker synth
Robot kit -- build a cute little robot rover

Flotilla is designed to progress with you as your skills develop. You don't need any coding skills or electronics knowledge to get started, you can simply plug and play!

A Raspberry Pi computer setup is required for use! Adafruit recommend a Raspberry Pi 3, USB power supply, SD card with NooBs, enclosure, keyboard, mouse, and a monitor.

For beginners Flotilla has Cookbook and Rockpool, two web-based apps which you can access from your computer or tablet. They let you experiment, learn, and build without writing a single line of code. For anyone who's done a little programming before, Pimoroni also has a complete Python API that lets you talk to all of the Flotilla modules.
