Resources and Going Further
Now that you've successfully got your micro:bits communicating, it's time to incorporate it into your own project! Need some inspiration? Check out our other robots found in our robotics section.
Getting Started with the AutoDriver - v13
SparkFun's AutoDriver is a powerful tool for controlling stepper motors. Here's how to use it.
Red Box Robot Hookup Guide
Turn an iconic SparkFun red box into an obstacle-avoiding robot.
Wireless Gesture Controlled Robot
Control the RedBot wirelessly based on the movement of your hand using an accelerometer, Arduino, and XBees!
Calibrating Your Odometry Sensor
In this tutorial, we will cover how to calibrate your Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") with Arduino and Python Examples.
Looking for more wireless fun? Check out the following using wireless applications.
IR Communication
This tutorial explains how common infrared (IR) communication works, as well as shows you how to set up a simple IR transmitter and receiver with an Arduino.
ESP8266 Powered Propane Poofer
Learn how Nick Poole built a WiFi controlled fire-cannon using the ESP8266 Thing Dev Board!
Wireless Remote Weather Station with micro:bit
Monitor the weather without being exposed to it through wireless communication between two micro:bits using the radio blocks! This is useful if your weather station is installed in a location that is difficult to retrieve data from the OpenLog. We will also explore a few different ways to send and receive data.
Qwiic Kit for Raspberry Pi V2 Hookup Guide
Get started with the SGP40, BME280, VCNL4040, and microOLED via I2C using the Qwiic system and Python on a Raspberry Pi! Measure VOC Index, light, temperature, humidity, and pressure from the environment. Then display them on the microOLED, serial terminal, or the cloud with Cayenne!
