Line Following add-on for :MOVE mini

Good news! :MOVE mini has been updated to MK 2 which means we’ve also updated this product. This page has been left here for information purposes, get the new and improved Line Follower Add-on here

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 mechanically assembly.

• Can either follow a dark line on a light back ground or a light line on a dark background.
