Wish List

Things sometimes break or get lost, its part of making and tinkering! If you need to replace a part here is a list of the individual components that make up the Red Hat Robotics Kit from the SparkFun catalog.

Master Connection List

This table shows you how things are connected. On the left side of the table is the board (the moto:bit in this case), in the middle is the color jumper wire, and in the right column is the “far end” connection (either one of the motors or one of the Line Sensors). This is a kind of shorthand for the step-by-step instructions that tell you exactly where each end of each connection goes, so sometimes instructions will give you a table like this rather than step-by-step instructions
