I am doing something much simpler, but I cannot get the servo to work. It's like there isn't enough current for the microbit and the servo with the 2 AAA batteries in the pack. What are you doing differently?
You addressed the problem correctly - not enough current/voltage. Regular servos are designed for 4-6V. With 2xAAA batteries you have 3V or even less if you use rechargables. One servo powered from the Micro:Bit 3V port will work but it is on the edge of its capabilities with very little force. That is why I use the Ring:Bit adapter - it provides stable 3,3V from 3xAAA batteries which in fact is also a bit lacking but usually works.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration! Hope you will continue in this direction. Perhaps even with more complex examples of robotics.
My focus is actually on making it as simple as possible. Thx!
I really like your videos and your constructions!
Kreatywne, do zrobienia przez dużych i małych. Znakomite pomysły!
These ideas are really impressive, you can start a DIY company For these projects, I for sure know you will make lots of kids and parents happy, 🔥
❤❤
Thats very good
