Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 09 – Remote control by accelerometer We have already showed you how to use one micro:bit to control another and also use the built-in accelerometer to control aspects of the bit:buggy. Now in this project we are going to combine the two to remote control the bit:buggy using the accelerometer. Connect […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 08 – Light follow In this project we are going to make the bit:buggy follow a single light source such as a torch light or the light on your phone. As you move the light source the bit:buggy will follow and change direction according. Connect your hardware If you haven’t done […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 07 – Turn over detection What happens when your bit:buggy accidentally flips over? Well it keeps running. In this project we are going to detect when the bit:buggy flips and then switch off the motors. Connect your hardware If you haven’t done so already, connect the left servo wheel to P1 […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 06 – Remote Control In this project we will show you how you can use two micro:bit to communicate and control the other one. Here we can use one micro:bit to control out bit:buggy. Connect your hardware If you haven’t done so already, connect the left servo wheel to P1 and […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 05 – Crazy Dance In the last project we showed you how to control the LEDs on the bit:buggy, now we are going to create some awe inspiring dance moves into the mix with some crazy snazzy dance moves. Connect your hardware If you haven’t done so already, connect the left […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 04 – Here comes the Police In this project we are going to introduce you to the LED module attached to the bottom of the bit:buggy. We are going to create a little Police bit:buggy that will chase you around whilst flashing its lights on and off. Connect your hardware If […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 03 – Turn at an angle In project 2 we showed you how to create a shape by turning the bit:buggy. Now in this project we are going to turn in a full circle and using a pen or pencil we can draw shapes onto some paper or card. In this […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 02 – Make a Shape In the last project we showed you how to move the bit:buggy forward and backwards, whilst familiarising yourself with Microsoft Make Code programming language. In this project we are going to show you how to make turns left and right by turning each servo motor either […]
Pi Supply bit:buggy Project 01 – Full speed ahead In this project we are going to create a simple program to show you the basics of how the bit:buggy works, as well as familiarising yourself with the bit:buggy code extensions and Microsoft Make Code. In this project we will move the bit:buggy forward and then […]
Getting Started with the Pi Supply micro:bit bit:buggy Pi Supply bit:buggy car is a DIY smart car which is based on the BBC micro:bit board and the Pi Supply bit:buggy. The bit:buggy has extended 3 channels of GPIO, among which 2 channels are used for driving the two servos and one channel of GPIO is […]
