【Unboxing and Review】---Tinybit Robot Micro:bit Robot Platform
I tried using a robotic car "Tiny:bit" that extends micro:bit provided by Yahboom.
The packing list includes: packing box, instruction manual, car extension board, tires, infrared remote controller, motor and mounting bracket, rechargeable battery, tracking map.
! ! !Note: If you purchase with Microbit board, your package will include Micro:bit board. If you purchase not include Micro:bit, you need prepare BBC Micro:bit by yourself.
Assembly
- Install rivets to fix the swivel wheel and motor bracket
- Insert the tire into the motor
- Insert the battery into battery box on expansion board
- Insert BBC Micro:bit board
Completion Something cute! Do you like this "guy"?
Specification
Front: Ultrasonic, sound sensor, high-brightness searchlight, infrared remote control receiver, programmable colorful RGB lights, alligator clip interface, building block space
Back: Tracking sensor, buzzer, motor socket.
Addition of Tinybit block for MakeCode

Line Tracking
I tried the sample code of the tracking. This code controls the motor by sensing black lines with two photo reflectors on the back of the board.
