This original kit allows you to create a small wheeled robot based on micro:bit (included) . Once programmed it can follow the line, avoid obstacles, be controlled via IR remote control, follow an object, turn on the RGB LEDs, etc.


The package includes the micro:bit card; a breakout for micro:bit; two micro gearmotors with metal gears, two wheels and two support brackets; a ball caster; an ultrasonic sensor with support base and fixing brackets; a USB-micro USB cable; an infrared remote control; a small screwdriver; four M3x40 female-female spacers and two M2x10 male-female spacers; a 3.7 volt lithium battery; two Velcro stickers; screws and nuts for assembly.

The micro:bit breakout features a micro:bit connector, two 10 mm RGB LEDs, three WS2812 SMD LEDs, an infrared obstacle detector, line tracking sensors, an IR receiver for infrared remote control, a buzzer, a micro USB connector for lithium battery charging, status LED, on/off switch, ultrasonic sensor connector, line tracking test track. There is also a connector for SPI interface, I2C, PWM output, serial port, I/O expansion.

Programming environments
  • MICROSOFT PXT (BETA) is a programming environment created by Microsoft (still in beta version) that supports both a Scratch-style block graphical environment and the Javascript language.
  • PYTHON was and still is in development to allow programming of microcontrollers in a Python-compatible language. The opportunity to use the Python language allows for continuity, in a hypothetical educational path, towards the use of more complex systems such as microcomputers capable of hosting GNU/Linux, such as the Raspberry Pi series.
  • MICROSOFT BLOCK EDITOR is a visual editor very similar to Scratch and represents the starting point for those who want to start programming. Like Scratch it is very simple to use but it is not a toy. It allows you to
    deepen structured programming and event management. The method of composing a program consists of choosing the blocks that represent the instructions, dragging them into the editor panel, configuring them in the customizable parts and "fitting" them correctly.
  • MICROSOFT TOUCH DEVELOP was developed to create programs for the micro:bit using tablets or other devices equipped with a touch screen. Obviously it can also be used by normal PCs using a keyboard and mouse.
  • JAVASCRIPT is a development environment that allows those who have made progress in programming to develop programs using the textual syntax of Javascript, with a guided editor that supports the "click and drag" method for composing lines and blocks of code .
Technical characteristics of micro:bit
  • 25 red LEDs that can be lit with different intensities to create drawings, animations and games.
  • Two buttons that can be managed via program to customize its behavior.
  • A reset and restart button.
  • An accelerometer capable of detecting and recognizing different types of movement such as shaking, rotations and free fall. Useful for making a motion sensor or animated games.
  • An electronic compass capable of detecting orientation and rotation in degrees with respect to North. A further use could be as a (magnetic) metal detector.
  • A USB connector to connect the micro:bit to your PC to load software programs.
  • A connector for external power.
  • A Bluetooth Smart Technology module that allows you to connect the micro:bit with other devices equipped with the same technology such as other micro:bits, PCs, smartphones, Bluetooth kits, tablets and cameras.
  • A temperature sensor capable of detecting ambient temperature.
  • A connector with 24 pins, five of which have pads suitable for connection with crocodile clips. Analog and digital I/O, communication bus and other functions described in more detail below are available on the connector .
