Micro:bit robot (Yellow)

---

The yellow micro:bit robot is probably the easiest to get started with, if you're fairly new to micro:bit, this is the robot for you!

• Start here with our guide on how to remote control the robot


• Then take a look at these guides from Kitronik that go into more detail:
• Get the robot to drive in circles, squares and triangles
• Work with lights and sounds
• Using the ultrasonic distance sensor
• Try the line following sensor
• Adjust the motors if the robot pulls left or right

Micro:bit robot (White)

---

The white micro:bit robots are a bit more tricky, but you should still be able to get started with them.

• Start here with our guide on how to get the robot to drive around
• Then check out our guide on how to get the onboard lights to work


• Then you can take a look at this guide from Kitronik, but check out the page numbers you need below:
• Page 8 - Flashing the LEDs (lights)
• Page 14 - Test drive and learning about servos
• Page 24 - Code the robot to move in a straight line, circle and add lights
• Page 26 - Draw a shape in JavaScript

Pico robot (Yellow)

---

Pico (and the Python programming language) is a bit more complex than micro:bit. If you've not already done the Pico pathway, you might want to start there first, then come back to the robot. This will give you a solid start on how to write programmes in Python.

• First you need to download this file and save it to the Pico for the tutorials to work.


• Now you can check out the guides below from Kitronik:
• Motors
• Lights, button and buzzer
• Line following sensor
• Ultrasonic distance sensor
• Using the servo connectors
