Can two micro:bits be connected wirelessly and serve as a remote?

Step by step tutorial for building a Micro:bit car and programming it for Remote Control with Micro:bit radio. On every platform the system is pretty much the same. Find out the pins for the motor and send the required motor power to them. Although in general I much prefer LEGO over soldering and screwing with Micro:bit, the little board has got it's charm. It's cheap and versatile.

Excellent video Anton! Thank you. All works perfectly. Now for some tinkering!

Really great video Anton
Do u have a link to where u got the motors

[@lgent638]

thank you

[@Maxawa0851]

Grear!

[@edwinmazo2085]

Antonio this an excellent tutorial, thank you very much. Tell me if it is possible to do this with a micro:Maqueen?

[@tomjoad1060]

nice work. But to learn, we need to know the general plan, and only later dive into details.

[@feraxo]

Cool!

[@LABITBBIS]

me too is so good

[@mikmojo4823]

Can i do this whit a bitbot?

[@nathanrobinson6133]

I am having trouble connecting the pins to the motor and what the arrangement would be. I do not have the same set up as your vehicle in the video.

[@nelsonjosedosreisciriz9718]

Hi Antons.
Really great.
I tried doing the same with the Microbit Maqueen robot, but the experiment didn't work so well. The robot only moves forward and stops constantly (trembles). It is possible to do this with a micro:Maqueen?
Thanks.

[@elixir375]

hi does this thing work for the tiny bit?
and is the powerboard similiar to batteries?

[@soljaa8]

Hey, great video. Do you have a wiring diagram for this circuit?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

No, sorry. But it is real simple. There is a motor driver board with 4 leads, and all of them are connected to a microbit port. I then change the PWM/voltage on these ports to drive the motors.

[@FionaHollandStMarys]

Is there a site where you put a written version of the makecode you have used?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

No. Can you copy it from the screen, if you pause the video? If not, contact me.

[@laureanofernandoortizbolan2455]

son dos microbit para el radio contol, o es una monttada en una base

[@JoseDiaz-dl9sm]

Really nice. Where can I find the code for the remote?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

You'll have to build it from the video.

[@laurencevanhelsuwe3052]

Hey Anton, have you ever looked at the Tinkerforge ecosystem? German stuff with interesting characteristics..

[@AntonsMindstorms]

No. Should I?

[@laurencevanhelsuwe3052]

@@AntonsMindstorms It's an interesting ecosystem. For people who are more programmer than electronics guru, they've got tons of components that can all be approached using simple APIs, via multiple languages. They have their site in German and English, but here and there they just prove they can't break free of their German origins.

[@stuartSFT]

Great video.... Any suggestions / pointers in running 2 servos using this set up :)

[@AntonsMindstorms]

The tough part is the radio. There are nice servo blocks in makecode. Just plug the received values in those instead of in a motor pin.

[@mickryan4677]

What version microbit are you using? Cheers

[@zameerfaeq8377]

i follow your code but i cant make the motor move backward. why? everythings okay move forward,right and left except backward. can you help me

[@AntonsMindstorms]

To go backward, make the other pin go to a 0 value.

[@niceman567]

Thanks for the video. How do you keep the robot moving straight? My robot does not go straight I was told thats normal as 2 motors may look the same but can run at different speed because of physics (friction , torgue etc)

[@AntonsMindstorms]

That's right. If you're good at programming, you can use the car gyro to course correct.

[@douglascharles6869]

haw far apart can it go and still have a good conection?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

You lose sight of the cars before you lose connection. Haven't tested distance.

[@douglascharles6869]

@@AntonsMindstorms thanks that is a lot of range for bluetoof!!

[@zvoum93]

where is the switch connected on your chassis? on what wires is it connected?

[@AntonsMindstorms]

The switch is in one of the holes of the base plate. It connects or disconnects the +5V between the batteries and the motor board.

@@AntonsMindstorms great thank you

[@melosalidema6591]

can it work with 1 motor only? i am doing a project

[@AntonsMindstorms]

Yes.

what item do you use to make a rc car

It's called 'donkey car'

can you send the link of the project?

do u have the code

Does this work with bitbot? 😁
