Micro:bit robots are not very expensive. However, you can have a lot of fun with them. In this video you can see ten ideas for what you van do with the :MOVE motor of Kitronik. To give you inspiration to work with a micro:bit robot in the classroom or as a parent at home with your kids or just for fun.
This micro:bit robot of Kitronik has a mounting hole for a M4 bolt between the dc motors and two pair of pins for a servo. That opens up a myriad of possibilities for making your own DIY add-ons or using commercial ones. In this video I use the Mini Pan-Tilt Kit of Makeblock and a new claw gripper of Kitronik that they asked me to test.
Longer videos of each example can be found on my Twitter account:

I used a micro bit once at my school and loved it so i have one on the way its being delivered currently my friend and me like coding and he might get one. I was looking for things to do with my micro bit and these ideas are really cool

@pinkypepper Год назад

Thanks! Good luck with your micro:bit. Learning to code is a nice adventure. And with the micro:bit you can make lots of cool stuff. This two player maze can be made with only the micro:bit and some cables: tinker-club.blogspot.com/p/two-player-maze-game-for-microbit.html

These are fantastic.... Are there tutorials and parts lists? I would love to have my students do this but I'm not "techie" enough to know how.

@pinkypepper Год назад

Thanks! Sorry for my late reply. I don't have any tutorials or parts lists available for the add ons that you see in this YT video. I do have an English tutorial for a fun micro:bit maze game that your students might like. You can find it here: tinker-club.blogspot.com/p/two-player-maze-game-for-microbit.html

Hi Pinky- I would appreciate if you could share where did you purchase the parts ? - At Time =4:40, you show a stopper-device. Very COOL!!

@pinkypepper Год назад

The parts at time 4:40 are from the MakeBlock Mini Pan-Tilt Kit. Here's an example of a shop that sells that kit: www.robots4all.be/Mini-Pan-Tilt-Kit?Product=154387677&Lng=en . It's made for the mBot, but you can also use it with the :Move Motor of Kitronik.

How do you do the first one? I can't find any other videos about having a controller type thing connected to it. Do you have any videos that you could recomend me?

@pinkypepper Год назад

I am sorry, I don't have a video for how I made this controller. I do have a video on how I made a foot pedal. This controller is a bit similar, only it has four buttons. twitter.com/PinkyPepper_/status/1138450509277343747 Does that help? You sort of need to make four buttons to make a controller with which you can drive a micro:bit robot in four directions.

cool projects Can we connect the microbit to the motor without a motor driver?

@pinkypepper 3 года назад

Thanks! Yes, that's possible, but you do need a transistor and 5V to give the motor enough power to turn. A motor driver makes it less complicated for kids to work with motors when using the micro:bit.

🙋🏻‍♀️olá tudo bem Amei seus robôs estou aqui fazendo meu primeiro robô com placa e Microbit e papelão e servo motor só

@pinkypepper 2 года назад

Boa sorte! Ansioso para ver o que você vai fazer. I made this one with paper, micro:bit and servo motors: twitter.com/PinkyPepper_/status/1332438389140885505

Hi PinkyPepper; can you show how you added the 10 add-ons so that I can show students in school? I would greatly appreciate it.! Like all your videos! Mike

@pinkypepper Год назад

Hi Mike, thanks! You can add these add-ons to the :Move Motor of Kitronik just by using a bolt. You can also see that in this Tweet: twitter.com/PinkyPepper_/status/1529903077599346690. This is their official add-on: kitronik.co.uk/products/5696-move-motor-klaw-kit Do you have a :Move Motor or do you have another micro:bit robot?

@thuangg5582 2 года назад

Can you show me the tutorial of the last one please, i found it interesting

@pinkypepper 2 года назад

I am sorry, I don't have any tutorials in English. All my lessons are in Dutch, because I organize workshops for Dutch kids. Is there anything specific you would like to know about the last one? Here's a quick explanation about the gripper. To use a second micro:bit as a remote control for the gripper, I send a number to the micro:bit of the robot to close it a bit and another number to open it a bit. The code of the micro:bit robot uses a variable for the position of the servo motor of the gripper. This variabele gets increased or decreased depending on the number that is sent by the remote, thereby opening or closing the gripper.
