Project for Tilt & Grip Controller
This is the project to run on the micro:bit module serving as the tilt controller for the Gripper-equipped cyber:bot robot. It takes measurements from its onboard tilt sensor and sends radio data values to the cyber:bot for its drive servos and Gripper servo.

- Connect the micro:bit with battery pack to the USB cable. (You can also use a second cyber:bot for this.)
- If you changed tilt controlled cyber:bot project’s set group (7) statement, make sure to change this one to match.
- Click Download.
- Disconnect the USB from the micro:bit module.
- Make sure the battery holder is connected to the micro:bit, and that it has some relatively new alkaline AA batteries. Or, if you are using a cyber:bot as a tilt controller, make sure its batteries are connected and that the cyber:bot board’s PWR switch is set to 1.
