This kit is the XRP's hardware pillar. The SparkFun XRP Controller is significantly improved over the Beta XRP Controller! It features a Raspberry Pi® RP2350B dual-core processor; 16MB of flash and 8MB of PSRAM; low-power accelerometer + gyroscope 6-DoF IMU (LSM6DSOX from STMicroelectronics®); two Qwiic® connectors for easy integration of sensors and accessories; two dual-channel motor drivers for four motors total; four servo headers; a user button; a full-color RGB LED; 0.1in. headers for electrical expansion possibilities, and more. Wireless connectivity is available via a Raspberry Pi® RM2 radio module, enabling 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth for remote control and IoT projects.
The plastics and chassis have also been significantly enhanced over the Beta XRP! Improved snap-fit components and optimized 3D-printing compatibility make assembling the XRP remarkably easier. Thanks to improved durability, a redesigned battery holder, and versatile mounting options, the XRP has also become more robust and user-friendly.
