**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** KIT-29326 · **Brand:** [Sparkfun](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/sparkfun-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-inventors-kit-for-micropython.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-inventors-kit-for-micropython.html.md))

This comprehensive MicroPython starter kit helps you program, interact with hardware, and bring your inventions to life - no soldering required.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $187.43 (inc GST) — $170.39 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 24 and Aug 31.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=KIT-29326:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/KIT-29326:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The SparkFun Inventor's Kit for MicroPython is a comprehensive educational platform designed to introduce makers to embedded electronics and programming. Centred around the powerful Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller, this all-in-one kit guides users through 16 interconnected circuits and five major projects, seamlessly bridging the gap between software code and physical hardware.

Traditional electronics learning often requires juggling physical textbooks, clunky development environments, and complex syntax, which can quickly overwhelm beginners. This kit solves that friction by utilising MicroPython—a highly readable, beginner-friendly language—and a seamless, browser-based JupyterLite learning environment. You can write your code, view step-by-step instructions, and see real-time hardware responses all in one window, completely eliminating frustrating software setups and driver installations.

### Key Features

- **Start coding instantly without software installation** thanks to the browser-based JupyterLite interactive learning platform.
- **Focus on concepts rather than complex syntax** by utilising MicroPython, bringing the readability and simplicity of standard Python 3 to embedded hardware.
- **Prototype safely and easily without a soldering iron** using the included plug-and-play components, jumper wires, and solderless breadboard.
- **Build a fully autonomous, obstacle-avoiding robot** as your capstone project, applying everything you’ve learned about motor drivers, ultrasonic sensors, and logic.
- **Scale your projects effortlessly into the IoT domain** using the SparkFun IoT RedBoard’s built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, powered by the robust Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller.
- **Expand your hardware possibilities without wiring errors** through the board's native Qwiic connector, granting access to an expansive ecosystem of daisy-chainable I2C sensors and displays.
