    Description

    The Kitronik :MOVE mini MK 2 buggy kit for the BBC micro:bit is the latest version of our ever-popular :MOVE mini that provides a fun introduction to robotics. The :MOVE mini is a 2-wheeled robot that is suitable for autonomous operation, remote control projects via a Bluetooth application or being controlled using a second BBC microbit as a controller via radio. This kit is available as a single pack or as a 20-pack.

    The MK2 features a set of Kitronik injection moulded wheels with 0-ring rubber tyres. The wheels maintain a large size, relative to the chassis, and deliver excellent traction. MK2 goes where V1.0 could not! 

    The Kitronik :MOVE mini is powered by two continuous rotation servo motors. The speed of these servos can be controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), which is easy to do using the Servo blocks in the MakeCode editor. We have also produced Kitronik custom blocks for the Servo:Lite to make the task of coding as quick and painless as possible, see the resources section at the foot of this page for more information.

    The buggy also has 5 x RGB individually addressable ZIP LEDs (NeoPixel compatible), which can be used as indicators, reverse lights etc. It is possible to add a pen or other extra parts to the kit to increase the range of tasks for which it can be used.

    The included Kitronik :MOVE servo:lite board can also be used in conjunction with a BBC micro:bit to build other movement-based projects. We've produced a wide range of tutorials and guides that can be found in the resources section below. We have guides detailing; how to control a third servo, how to code the buggy to draw shapes, how to write code for the onboard ZIP LEDs, how to code the buggy for Bluetooth control and how to use a second micorbit as a controller.

    Kitronik :VIEW Graphics 128 OLED Display 128x64

    KI 56115
    Display meaningful output from your micro:bit project with the Kitronik :VIEW Graphics128 OLED display. The Kitronik :VIEW Graphics128 OLED display gives the user the ability to add a monochrome 128x64 display to the BBC micro: bit. The onboard edge connector allows the micro:bit to slot into the board without any additional fixings. The board also features a micro:bit style I/O connector which means it can be slotted into any other micro:bit accessory that has a slot for inserting a micro:bit. All of the pins from the BBC micro:bit are tracked through to provide the edge pads with the full usage of the BBC micro:bit, with the addition of a display. As the micro:bit slots directly into the board, no tools, fixings, or soldering are required.

    Power to the board can be provided via the edge connector or from the micro:bit. The board requires a 3V supply and has no voltage protection on the board. The board features an LED to indicate when the board has power. With every display, pixel turned on the board has a maximum power draw of 40mA. The 128x64 display uses the SSD1306 driver on an I2C interface. At the centre of the board are the breakout pads for the I2C lines, along with two ground pads and a 3V power pad. These pads are on a 2.54mm pitch, which means they will fit either wire or a pin header for jumper cables (not provided). This can be used by those who wish to add more I2C devices and functionality. It is possible to change the default I2C address of the board (see the Selecting Display section of this Datasheet for more details).

    Features:
  • Add a monochrome 128x64 OLED display to the micro:bit.
  • The micro:bit slots into the onboard edge connector.
  • The board features a micro:bit style I/O connector allowing it to be slotted into other micro:bit accessories.
  • It can be coded with MakeCode blocks and with Python.
  • Kitronik has created custom MakeCode blocks.
  • Kitronik has created a GitHub repo for custom Python functions.
  • It can be powered via the edge connector or by the micro:bit.
  • Requires a 3V supply.
  • The board features a power indicator LED.
  • It is possible to change the default I2C address of the board.
  • No tools, fixings, or soldering are required.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 58mm.
  • Width: 52mm.
  • Height: 11.8mm.
  • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm.
