Just received my Sparki.
I note that a Bluetooth board is included but I also have a second.
It has 8 prongs and with the following configuration looking from the prong side…
VCC GND
CSN CE
MOSI SCK
IRQ MISO
Any idea what it’s for?
I was about to ask the same thing…
It looks a lot like this:

I agree that this is the board I received… still don’t know what it’s for, what it does or how to use it.
I think that was the radio that was supposed to be the Kickstarter $200K stretch goal. Primarily to be used for communication between multiple Sparkis.
[quote]Stretch Goals
$100,000
Android App - Control and monitor Sparki via its Bluetooth Serial Module
$200,000
Wireless Data Radio - Lets Sparki communicate with its siblings up to 100ft+ wirelessly: this would be awesome for swarm robotics!

From Kickstarter update #5
Hmmm. So why didn’t we all get one?
Zax…
Thanks for your explanation.
Yes, its an extra radio module. We don’t have example code for it yet, but will soon. It was included in all MAKE edition Sparkis as a bonus features.
