MOVE mini buggy kit for micro:bit
KIT 5624
The Kitronik :MOVE mini buggy kit for the BBC micro:bit is a fun introduction to the world of
robotics. Once built it can be coded for a variety of activities.
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 micro:bit as a
controller via the microbits radio functionality.
The Kitronik :MOVE mini is powered by two continuous rotation servo motors. The speed of
these servo’s can be controlled by simply altering the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to
the servo, which is easy to do using the Servo blocks in the Microsoft PXT Block 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 BBC micro:bit is sold separately and the kit requires simple assembly, buy
the microbit here.
The included Kitronik :MOVE servo:lite board can also be used in conjunction with a BBC
micro:bit to build other movement based projects. Kitronik have produced a wide range of
tutorials and guides that can be found in the resources section below. They have guides detailing;
how to control a third servo, how to code the buggy to draw shapes, how to write code for the
on-board ZIP LEDs, how to code the buggy for Bluetooth control and how to use a second
microbit as a controller.
Note:
This kit requires mechanical assembly.
