Thanks for the nice comment, Matx25, I hope you are well and happy.

We are well and busy with school and work, unfortunately not much time for new electronic/Microbit projects.

@oldhorn420 . It was because of the help you gave me from your steering video. My assembly is different but it uses your basic ideas. Thank you for your help ! !

You are welcome ; we learn all this together so that makes KZfaq very useful. Now we have learned that LEGO bricks work so well with Technic parts so Motors on Bricks can activate LEGO projects along with all these sensors that fit together.

This system has no code. Jacdac is a Microsoft system using Kittenbot Jacadaptor and Kit B which has a motor board and a power board. The servo motor (positional or continuous) plugs into the motor board. When you turn on the switch of the battery power board then the motor shows up on the computer screen. Now you can swipe left or right and the motor turns if a Microbit V2 is plugged into the computer by USB. We have many videos about this. You can also add code in MakeCode.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 ahh get it, thanks dude!

@@makecodeandhardware1395 I also want to get my first red motors. Which yahboom kit should I get? I was trying to get the spider kit with the 2 red motors and the super:bit expansion board

Yes, I think the intention by the designers of the Sensor Kit is to make it more child friendly. I find RGB is NOT correct. The code suggests pins12,13,14 but there are only 2 data pins per connector, like 12 and 13. Also, 255 on red bubble of RGB series does not show red. Is it GRB ? I cannot make that work either. Much to learn.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 , I think you are right. There should 3 data pins for colour. I do not have time now to look up their data sheets. I suppose the 3rd bit is hidden somewhere - read carefully...

I am not a big fan of LEGO Bricks because this developed after I was a child. But they are very popular so we add motors to them to learn coding and electronics. I find most kids are very experienced with LEGO Bricks. Our local library has a monthly STEM session with Bricks for kids.

Have you used Bill Siever's 'date / time' extension in Make Code ? github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-timeanddate we have a video about it.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 , this is GREAT, thank you a lot - NO, I've never seen this extension, I actualy tried to do something similar to another microcontroller board (PICOED, rasberry-pi based - python accesed). Very clever stuff, indeed. THANKS!

Thanks for all your help, @Keeping_IT_Simple ! ! !

This is not an expensive kit set. DF Robot makes the voice recognition module. I attached it with Velcro to a clear plastic square. There are two Microbits : one for 'send' using voice commands and one Microbit on the DF Robot Micro Maqueen 2 wheel car. The I2C board is by Keyes Studio.

With just changing the code @loafers1014 , you can make it go faster by increasing the numbers in the bubbles for speed: Set all motor direction rotate forward to speed (80)....to speed (100). and the same with other speeds. This will make it go as fast as possible. But it might be a problem because the sensors might not be able to read the input (black line or white paper) fast enough and the bot car might go past the line edge if the wheels turn too fast. Try it and see. Sorry for my late reply.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 thank you so much!! This will help out a ton. Dont worry, you replied just on time

We learned that these gray and black wheels in VEX are called Omni Wheels and they do offer Mecanum wheels also. We bought these Omni Wheels on Alibaba with the X hubs for Lego Technics motors. We have now bolted them onto VEX wheel hubs and they are much, much cheaper than VEX brand Omni Wheels.

I think this happens sometimes. Try to work in a different browser, if using Chrome then try Edge or Brave. Or: Try "save" the program, not download. If it saves as a .hex file, in your downloads folder or other folder, then plug in the Microbit and drag the .hex file onto the Microbit drive. Also, when you save or download make sure to click "Done" if that is offered. I hope this helps. Tell me if you have more questions about it.

We are very happy that you can use our information in your projects. This channel is to help everyone learn more about coding and electronics and robots.

I see that this servo is 270 degrees and grey. The 2KG 360 degree servo is also grey. I will do a video on it soon. tinyurl.com/3jpr6ype

Yes, it's probably this one: tinyurl.com/2ypv87mn Then I added some air tanks and the pressure gauge also. It all came from DIY Mall and made by MouldKing.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 thank you very much for that link

It would be nice if you could allow comments on your KZfaq videos so we can ask you questions about your methods and projects. Sometimes identifying "Yes, it's made for kids" turns off comments. Thanks

One way to turn off Neopixel is to set the color to "black". Like this code, if you click on "B" button the blue LED should turn off. makecode.microbit.org/_UAz7ob1f23Yf , tinyurl.com/293jm28x I hope this helps.

Thanks! helps alot since I'm making a Code for the Tinybit by using its remote and then turn the lights off. Thank you very much!

@@makecodeandhardware1395 Also, where to buy a JST connector for the microbit battery pack? Mine doesn't have one.

​@@melneldell2187 battery pack with jst conntector: tinyurl.com/ymevcdtc. It looks like this jst connector is called : JST-PH connector. There are several sizes of jst so make sure you get PH size. Also, you can see from our videos that we usually use the micro usb port on the microbit to power the whole system, not a battery pack/jst. We use a rechargeable cell phone power bank with short usb cable. Happy to answer any questions. If you buy jst and wires to solder onto your battery pack then make sure that ground/blackwire/negative goes to microbit negative.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 Thank you so much, now I can use my battery pack and solder it!

It works with Microsoft MakeCode for Arcade. Possibly can use Kittenbot software also. When you click the first link above it installs MakeCode Arcade in your browser and click 'edit' and you can then see the code. Glad that you like it.

@user-zh7ti9xx4z . Yes, thank you for asking. This video is from 2 years ago. I will look at it and explain each part of the code so everyone can better understand it. This will require some time for me to do.

Ok, To explain this code, You can see that there are 3 parts, forever, on button A pressed and on start. Now the on starts sets the conditions and parameters as you would expect. So a new variable is created called "valor". And that is set to equal 0 to start. Now we set the pins on the scales to P0 and P8 for data and clock . Then we say: begin. Now we describe 'serial' with TX and RX and declare the rate of data transfer (I think) at 9600, Next we write strings on 3 lines and the rest of the seral write I really don't understand why but I copied it...maybe someone else can explain all the serial write stuff. Next there is a scale setting of 2280. And "tare" on scales has to do with accounting for the weight of the container that holds the measured material so that the container does not count in the weight. You only want to weight the material not including the container. Now there is a pause of 1 second and then more writing of the measuring of the weight. All of the dark blue blocks can be explained by someone who knows more than I do about coding MakeCode for the Microbit. I don't know where the 4.47 comes from in button A pressed. It does not seem to be a conversion from oz. to gm. The Forever loop is way too complicated for me to figure out. I think I got all this code from someone who had written it before. Maybe this will help a little bit.

yes.

can you please send me an email so i can get your mailing address : [email protected]

You can use visual programming (graphical or block ) and you can use js and you can use python also; it all translates in the MakeCode environment. The code comes from DF Robot company in their tutorials about Micro Maqueen V2 Plus and Mechanical with Huskylens.

your question translated : How many servo motors can be connected here, maximum? And just how many motors? My answer: I must check out the kit to see how many servos and how many motors. I have not yet counted them. Thank you for your question. I will answer tomorrow. Мой ответ:Я должен проверить комплект, чтобы посмотреть, сколько сервоприводов и сколько моторов.Я их еще не считал.Спасибо за вопрос.Отвечу завтра. Moy otvet:YA dolzhen proverit' komplekt, chtoby posmotret', skol'ko servoprivodov i skol'ko motorov.YA ikh yeshche ne schital.Spasibo za vopros.Otvechu zavtra.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 , не переводите. Я сам переведу, просто гугл переводчик может перевести с полной потерей смысла. Буду ждать итога ваших тестов! Спасибо за то что потратите на это свой время! =)

Плата может работать с 4 серводвигателями. В комплект входят 2 сервопривода. Я думаю, что он также может работать со многими двигателями постоянного тока. The board can handle 4 servo motors. The kit includes 2 servos. I think it can handle many DC motors also.

@@makecodeandhardware1395 , понял. Ограничение по материнской плате или Micro:bit не может поддерживать работу более 4-ёх сервомоторов?

I do not know how many servos the Microbit can support. We use V2 now so maybe it is more powerful but V1 does work with this kit. Thank you for asking.

The camera and TFT screen are called Huskylens : www.dfrobot.com/product-1922.html Ours is the Micro Maqueen V2 by DF Robot with "Mechanical Kit" and 18650 battery and Huskylens

Thank-you! That looks really cool

Thanks I'm cooper

I think not. I think the tech support at Yahboom said they could not resolve it due to changes in the MakeCode system updates.

You should not need a specific remote. If you are using an IR remote control, like the one shown or for a television or radio then using the FIRST code shown installed on the Microbit and WHEN the Microbit is installed in the Mqueen car and the Mqueen is powered on, then a number should be shown on the Microbit LED array when you press a button on the IR remote.. If this does not work the tell me and i will try it again on my Maqueen.

​@@makecodeandhardware1395 So I bought a cheap universal IR remote and it worked like a charm. Seller didn't know if It would work with Maqueen&microbit but he knew it'd work with Anduino, NEC, IR1838 receiver so I went with it. My other remotes tv/fans/air conditioner's didn't work. Thanks
