Spectacle Motion Kit
The Spectacle Motion Kit makes it easy to move and manipulate parts in your next project at the push of a button! The Motion Kit provides perhaps the easiest possible way to control servos in your button-controlled motion project. Inside each Spectacle Motion Kit you will find all the boards required to create a moving project (the Spectacle Director, Motion, and Button Boards), as well as all the accessories needed to get you hooked up and moving!
We have written an in-depth User's Guide and Motion Kit Hookup Guide to help direct you through each step of setting up this and any kit in the Spectacle product line. You will be surprised by how easy and quick it is to make yourself into a Spectacle!
Spectacle is a product ecosystem centered around a simple idea: creative people shouldn’t have to learn new skills to use electronics in their projects. You’ve spent years developing the skills you use, and SparkFun wants to recognize that and help you expand your creations to include electronics without requiring you to spend years learning about electronics and programming.
