Description
The Clippable Detector board for the BBC micro:bit detects light, objects, and can follow lines. The board is directly compatible with the BBC micro:bit and certain Kitronik boards, such as the Klip Motor Board.
The board works by using phototransistors to detect the reflectivity of different surfaces. The Clippable Detector board has 3 phototransistor sensors that are evenly spaced apart. The sensors provide an analogue voltage to the BBC micro:bit. Five connections are required for full operation. These connections correspond to those on a BBC micro:bit and can be secured using screws or croc-clip leads.
Coding with MakeCode Blocks:
We have produced a set of custom MakeCode blocks for the Clippable Detector board. To add them to the editor, select the gear icon in the top right corner of the editor. Then select Extensions from the dropdown menu and type and enter Kitronik in the search bar. Choose the tile from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor.
Coding with MicroPython:
It is also possible to use MicroPython to write code for this board. For example code in MicroPython, visit our GitHub page here.
Features:
Use the board to detect light, objects, or to follow lines.
The board is equipped with 3 phototransistors that detect the reflectivity of different surfaces.
Connect the board directly to the micro:bit or connect using croc-clip leads.
We have created custom MakeCode blocks to make coding as simple as possible.
You can also code it with MicroPython, you can find example code here.
