Line Following Add-On for :MOVE mini

Add line following functionality to the Kitronik :MOVE mini for the BBC micro:bit with this easy to assemble add-on kit.

This add-on comes with all the parts required to add line following functionality to the :MOVE mini and does not require any soldering. Once built, the sensitivity of the left and right sensors can be individually tweaked to ensure smooth operation.

See the resource section below to download the line following code example we created. By default, the code will cause the buggy to follow a dark line on a light background but the code can be altered to do the opposite.

There is no soldering required but the kit does require some mechanical assembly.

Features:

• Add line following functionality to the :MOVE mini for the BBC micro:bit.
• Can either follow a dark line on a light back ground or a light line on a dark background.
