The assembly holds the pen firmly in place and the supplied servo can be used to raise and lower the pen. This will allow the user to create complex patterns without any unsightly travel marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit comprises a set of 3 laser cut parts, a single \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/products\/2565-180-mini-servo\"\u003e180-degree servo\u003c\/a\u003e, a rubber band, and the fixings required to put it together. The kit requires no soldering but there is some simple mechanical assembly. The kit is supplied with a booklet that walks the user through the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also created an online guide, with MicroPython code, to help you get up and running straight away. You can copy the code from the page and paste it straight into your code editor software. The guide assumes that you will be using Thonny, but you can use any suitable editor that you feel more comfortable with.
