Instructions

Start by getting the tilt control application running for each cyber:bot robot.

• Each student or team should take half the parts. That’s 1 cyber:bot, 1 USB A to Micro-B cable, 1 micro:bit, 1 battery pack, and 2 batteries.
• Each student/team must take a different channel in the 0…83 range.
• For best results, keep the channels evenly separated in the 0…83 range. For example, if there are 9 robots, they can be separated by 10.  One team gets channel 0, the next channel 10, the next channel 20, and so on through channel 80.
• Each team will have to update each of their script’s channel= settings to their assigned channel before running the script.
• Each team will complete these activities:
  • Radio-Receive Tilt
  • Radio-Transmit Tilt
  • Radio Tilt Controlled cyber:bot App
  • Radio Tilt Controlled cyber:bot Code
  • Radio Tilt Controller Code
• When teams have demonstrated tilt control of their robots, they can disconnect their controller micro:bit modules from USB and connect battery packs instad.
  • Connect the battery pack’s JST plug to the micro:bit module’s JST socket.

Load the batteries into the battery pack making sure to match the +/- diagram inside the battery pack.
