Tilt Controlled cyber:bot with Gripper Control

]

This project allows you to use a second micro:bit to tilt control the cyber:bot robot and use its B and A buttons to remotely close-lift and lower-open the Gripper paddles.   

Parts

• (1) additional micro:bit
• (2) AAA batteries
• (1) micro:bit battery pack
• (1) programming cable
• (1) cyber:bot with gripper installed, tested and tuned by following the:
  • Parts, Circuit, Script and Tests sections in the Test and Tune the Gripper activity.
  • Script and Tests sections in the Go and Get an Object activity.

For those who have a class set of cyber:bot robots, a second cyber:bot can be used as a tilt controller if an extra micro:bit GO kit is not available on its own.

Circuit

• Connect the micro:bit battery pack to the second micro:bit; the one that’s not in the cyber:bot board.
• Open the battery pack, add the batteries, and put the lid back on.
• If you are instead using a second cyber:bot as the tilt controller, make sure its batteries are fresh/charged, the battery pack is plugged into the board, and the board’s PWR switch is in Position 1.
