    4tronix Robio:bit Mk3 Buggy for the BBC micro:bit

    Version 1.3 of this popular kit now uses a removable ultrasonic sensor, that uses the same connector as used on the Minibit and BitBot XL. This allows the use of alternative addons, sich as the new BitFace, 5x5 FireLed Matrix and OLED.

    The Robobit Makecode package supports all versions of the Robobit Buggy. This little buggy can be assembled very quickly using only a screwdriver. No soldering is required

    Mk3 changes from Mk2:
  • Integrated line following sensors
  • Integrated ultrasonic distance sensor with new connector
  • Integrated pen holder mounted at the axis of rotation
  • Integrated 8 element FireLed bar with “auto scanner” software support
  • Motors fitted on top to make it more compact
  • Screwdriver and wrench tools included

    Using this great kit you can learn about:

    • Controlling motors with simple Forwards / Reverse controls
    • Controlling the speed of motors in both directions using PWM
    • Use a second BBC micro:bit with the easy-to-use radio software to control the buggy
    • Use the motion sensor on the micro:bit to detect collision with obstacles and avoid them
    • Detect when obstacles get close and change the program to avoid the obstacles
    • "Follow-Me" program that tries to stay a certain distance from the object in front
    • Use the 2 line sensors either side of the non-reflective line to detect the line and keep the buggy on track
    • Write more complex programs that behave as required if you meet a T-Junction or crossing of lines
    • Compare different line following strategies - create a race-track and see which strategy is fastest
    • In combination with the distance sensor, make it avoid obstacles on the track and then re-acquire the line

    Develop your coding skills with the Kitronik ARCADE for BBC micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade, a fully featured programmable gamepad for use with the MakeCode Arcade block editor. The Kitronik ARCADE for BBC micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade is a handheld gaming platform designed specifically for use with the BBC micro:bit and the MakeCode Arcade editor, either write your own games and run them on Arcade or download existing games. The MakeCode Arcade editor is a great way to learn to code games. It features simple snap-together blocks that allow the user to build simple games within minutes. The editor has been designed to allow everyone, from beginners to experienced game enthusiasts, to create games to run in the browser or on handheld consoles. It consists of drag-and-drop blocks that snap together to form programs. You can also write your code in Javascript and Python!

    To help you get off to a flying start, we have created a Datasheet, which also doubles as a quick start guide. It comprises; a product brief, usage information, labelled and dimensioned drawings, and an introduction to coding with the MakeCode Arcade editor. The board features 4 directional d-pad buttons, 2 interactive action buttons for coding, a menu button and a full colour 1.77” screen. At the bottom of the BBC micro:bit Arcade are 5 croc-clippable pads for connecting additional switches and devices. These consist of the 3 BBC micro:bit pins (P0, P1 and P2) also a voltage pin and a ground (the same connections as the large pads on the BBC micro:bit. This allows for custom additions to the gamer. Sound is provided via the in-built sounder on the BBC micro:bit.

    The Kitronik Arcade is powered by 3xAA batteries, with the battery holders located on the rear of the PCB. The battery holders also act as an ergonomic grip that makes it comfortable to use. The board also provides power to the connected micro:bit via the edge connector slot, removing the need to power the micro:bit separately. The Arcade has a power switch, but it is also possible to turn the Arcade off by simply removing or inserting the BBC micro:bit into the edge connector. There is a green power LED that lights up when the board has power, is switched on, and has a micro:bit inserted. The emphasis for MakeCode Arcade is Learning/Education and there are a wealth of resources available on the MakeCode Arcade website to facilitate this. There are; guided tutorials that walk you through creating simple games, more complex games that you can open and learn from, games written by community members that you can learn from, game concepts tutorials, tutorials that explore graphics and Maths, lesson plans, CS courses, printable coding cards for the classroom, video tutorials, and much more!
