Code it. Build it. Control it.

TinkerPy is where kids learn to program real robots and gadgets — and build their own phone apps to control them.

Used in 40+ schools across Mangaluru, Udupi, Kasaragod & Bengaluru

Board setup

Flash new firmware

Put the latest TinkerPy firmware on your TinkerPy Mega (ESP32-C3) right from this page — no Arduino IDE, no drivers, no software.

  1. 1Connect your board to this computer with a USB data cable.
  2. 2Click Upgrade TinkerPy Board Firmware.
  3. 3Pick your board’s port in the popup, click Connect, and wait for “Installation complete” (about 30 seconds).

Latest firmware: …

💻 Use a laptop or desktop Open this page in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a laptop or desktop computer. Phones and iPads can’t install firmware.
🔒 Secure page needed Installing works only on a secure page. Open https://tinkerpy.com/#flash-firmware and try again.
Board not showing up?
  • Use a data cable — some cables only charge and can’t talk to the computer.
  • Hold the BOOT button while you plug the board in, then let go and click Install again.
  • Close Arduino IDE and any other tab that is using the board.
  • Try another USB port on the computer.
  • When it says “Installation complete”, press RESET on the board once.
⌨️ TinkerPy Code

Code that reads like English.

TinkerPy is a simplified, Python-based coding platform, designed for kids. Write real Python-style code — def setup(): and def loop(): — switch outputs ON and OFF, read sensors, and send it to your board.

📱Code on PC, tab or phoneWrite and upload from any device — no PC or laptop? No worries.
📶Wireless code uploadSend your code by WiFi or Bluetooth in 1 tap. No cables.
🎮Live code simulationTest your code in the simulator before you try it on real hardware.
  • ✨Magic Code Creator — type .., pick what you want, fill the boxes, and the line is written for you.
  • 💬Comments write themselves — every line explains itself in plain words, and ?? explains any line.
  • 🛠️Compile fixes small mistakes — missing colons, spaces and setup lines are added for you.
  • ⭐Hints as you type — suggestions, a Code Library with examples, and labels like angle: on every value.

🎮 TinkerPy Simulator

No board yet? Run it on a virtual one.

Press Simulator and your code runs on a TinkerPy board on the screen — lights blink, servos turn and buzzers beep, exactly as your real board will.

🧰No hardware neededTest your whole project on screen — no board, parts or wires.
🧩Drag & drop componentsAdd LEDs, servos, buzzers and sensors as widgets. No circuit connections.
🎚️Live sensor inputSlide, press and move the sensors while the code runs — testing feels real.
  • 💡Every output comes alive — LEDs, RGB strips, servos, motors, buzzers and displays.
  • 🔁Same code, real board — when it works in the simulator, upload the very same code to your TinkerPy board.
  • 🔍Watch it think — the running line lights up, so you see why something happens.
  • 🏫Perfect for class and home — every student tests their code, even with one board for the whole class.

🧪 AI Simulation Lab

See how circuits and parts really work.

Watch current flow, sound waves bounce and motors spin — in 450 live simulations of circuits, sensors and motors. Drag, turn and tap to see the science inside.

36sensor & motor labs 15circuit experiments 399course chapters
  • 👀See what you can’t see — electrons, signals, echoes and magnetic fields come alive on screen.
  • 🖐️Learn by doing, safely — change the voltage, move the sun, wave a hand. No parts to break, no shocks.
  • 📽️Made for the classroom — teachers show it on the projector instead of slides; every part has a definition, uses and project ideas.
  • 🔑One code per experiment — your Robotics Teacher shares this month’s code, and it stays open on your account till May 31.
