Chapter 1

introduction and part list

iBIT robot kit

is a micro:bit-based mobile robotic kit. It comes complete with wheels,

motors, sensors, software, documentation, etc. The iBIT controller board support the

micro:bit microcontroller. The

Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit

Microsoft PXT

Block Editor

JavaScript

and

Python

software is recommended.

For students and teachers; this kit comes with a comprehensive set of activities

and introducing sensors and microcontrollers using the well-popular micro:bit platform.

No soldering is required so the kit is perfectly safe for the classroom. The iBIT robot kit

comes with 2 versions :

iBIT robot kit Lite

. It includes the micro:bit and iBIT controller board. It also

includes simple sensors (touch sensors and infrared reflector sensors), DC motor

gearboxes and many mechanical parts that allow you to make an autonomous robot

suitable for learning of the Microsoft PXT Graphical programming language. This version

is most affordable for beginners in robotics.

iBIT robot kit Plus

. It also includes all main components that are in the Lite kit

and other extra part such as the Aluminum wheels, Silicone tires, a standard mini servo

motor and extra chasis. With the Plus version, it allows users to learn more about robotics

in education as well as competition.

1.1 Part list

1. micro:bit ; the 32-bit microcontroller board with 5x5 matrix LED, compass sensor.

3-axis accellerometer sensor and Bluetooth 4.0 circuit

2. iBIT controller board for supporting the micro:bit

3. LED output board with JST cable (ZX-LED) x 2

4. RGB LED programmable board (ZX-SLED3C) x 3

5. Piezo Speaker board (ZX-SPEAKER)

6. Switch/Touch sensor with JST cable (ZX-SWITCH01) x 2

7. Infrared reflector board with JST cable (ZX-03) x 2

8. Metal micro gearbox low power with 30:1 gear ratio with IDC cable x 2

9. Mini standard servo motor (Operating voltage is 4.8 to 6Vdc)

10. Aluminum wheels 33x21 mm. diameter (x2) with Silicone tires, socket screws

and an Allen wrench
