- In this video I'll show you how to build your own Robot using the micro:bit Maqueen Plus programmable robot by DFRobot (for Hobbyists, STEM or STEAM education). The Maqueen Plus utilizes the micro:bit micro-controller to perform many different functions including: line tracking, autonomous operation, distance measurement and more. It's limited only by your imagination. Great for tinkering, hobbyists, classroom activities, robotics competitions or for anyone interested in learning more about robotics.
Tutorial shown in this video may be found here: wagnerstechtalk.com/maqueenplus
Where to find a Maqueen Plus Robot (~$55):
Amazon.com: amzn.to/2Oy1n8W
You'll also need a micro:bit (the brains of the robot ~$16 USD) : amzn.to/3jjyHyw
The Maqueen Plus uses 18650 batteries, if you don't already have some here's one suggestion (~$21 USD): amzn.to/3eFfqUB

Thank you. This is the best resource I have found so far for getting started with micro bit and maqueen plus with no robotics experience. I appreciate your website too. Thank you!
Very welcome Michelle, thank you so much for your kind words!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much for watching, happy you enjoyed it!
Great Video Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Sorry for my slow reply, must have missed your message somehow.

Watching this now!
Pro tip: you can watch series on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Kalel Henrik definitely, been using kaldroStream for since november myself :)
@Kalel Henrik yea, I've been using kaldrostream for since november myself =)
@Kalel Henrik yup, have been using KaldroStream for since december myself :)
@Kalel Henrik yup, I have been watching on kaldrostream for months myself =)
Hi, my Maqueen motor doesn't work at all, i only can get the LED display on if i use Mind+. Any idea?
I would first try the obstacle avoidance program here just to make sure there isn't a coding issue: wagnerstechtalk.com/maqueenplus/#Obstacle_Avoidance . If that doesn't work, then you may want to ask your question in the DFRobot forums for a faster answer of something else to try: www.dfrobot.com/forum/
My teacher challenged us to change the code to make it very fast. Any ideas on how i can make it faster?
Top5 fastest also gets a secured 96 score so i kinda dont wanna miss this chance
Awesome to hear that this robot is being used for a class challenge! I'm not going to give away exactly how, but focus on things such as direction, speed and pause times. Those are areas of the code that will impact how quickly the robot makes it to it's destination. Have fun with it, save different copies of your program and play around until you find the perfect program. Keep in mind, with higher speeds there may be a reduction in reliability/completing the goal. The best part of this challenge is to explore and learn new things, think outside the box and you'll do well. If you don't mind, drop me a note after and let me know how it went.
What happened to the MaQueen tutorial? It is no longer on the website
It's still here: wagnerstechtalk.com/maqueenplus . I'll check the link in the description, may need https added (I enabled SSL after this video). Thanks for mentioning it, will check. EDIT: Yep, that's what it was (fixed)
@@WagnersTechTalk thanks for the link... I was looking for the pull down menu for the tutorial like at the 7:50 mark in the video but the link you posted is it. Yay thanks... I needed a quick inexpensive robot for a demo for Bring your Kids to work day
My Maqueen 4.1 Infrared doesn't work. Any tips to get it going?
May want to contact DFRobot support for the best support. Haven't had any issues with IR myself.
@@WagnersTechTalk have sent them an email but they are slow to respond. I have been trying to get the RGB lights underneath working but only red wants to work. So wondering if the new v4.1 is just full of bugs 😕
check wires in p2 and p2(blue)
Hi, I can't find Maqueen Plus in your website. Was it taken down?
No, it's under the Guides menu, robotics. Here's a direct link wagnerstechtalk.com/maqueenplus/
@@WagnersTechTalk Thank you!
I am gonna have the normal maqueen and the maqueen plus with every maqueen mechanic
Awesome, these little bots are a lot of fun!
@@WagnersTechTalk yeah I know, i am getting the Maqueen plus for my birthday. also Could you make a video on how to use the Maqueen mechanics
Obstacle Avoidance program is not working in right way
The code can definitely be improved, such as making small motions/measurements and then move forward. From a basic standpoint, it does work though. These examples are meant as a good starting point.
