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 project we are going to draw a full circle using the bit:buggy.
Connect your hardware
If you haven’t done so already, connect the left servo wheel to P1 and the right servo wheel to P2.
Use a rubber band to fix a pencil on the base board of the Ring:bit car.
Coding
Step 1 – Snap in place the block “go straight at full speed” into the “On start” block. The port number is the actual servo connection port.
Step 2 – Snap into place the “left wheel speed right wheel speed” under the “On button A pressed” block. Set the left wheel speed at 10 and the right wheel speed to 50.
Step 3 – Snap into place the “break” block into the “On button B pressed” block.
Step 4 – Upload your code to the bit:buggy.

Action
When you press the “A” button on the micro:bit it will then begin to draw a full circle. When you press button “B” it will stop the bit:buggy from drawing a circle.
Taking it further
How can you make the bit:buggy draw a figure of eight?
