What it’s about
This Chapter will guide you through:
- Identifying your cyber:bot robot’s key components.
- Connecting and testing your cyber:bot robot’s micro:bit brain.
- Assembling your cyber:bot if you are starting with parts.
- Testing your and troubleshooting your cyber:bot (either after assembly, or if you are starting with one that is pre-assembled).
Before you start
You will need one of the following cyber:bot kit options:
- cyber:bot robot kit with micro:bit (#32700)
- cyber:bot robot kit NO micro:bit (#32705) + your own micro:bit module
If you have your own cyber:bot conversion kit (#32707) + your own built-up Boe-Bot or Shield-Bot, see this Convert to a cyber:bot instead, then continue with the main tutorial sequence starting with Navigation with the cyber:bot.
You will need to make sure your cyber:bot is ready for programming. Complete these tutorials first:
- Required: Getting Started with Python and the micro:bit
- Optional, but very highly recommended: Writing micro:bit programs
- Required: Add modules to your micro:bit
After you finish
Once you are finished, you will be ready to work through the rest of the main cyber:bot tutorials.
