4tronix Bit:Bot XL Robot for BBC micro:bit with Addressable LEDs

4tronix Bit:Bot XL Robot for BBC micro:bit with Addressable LEDs

Introducing BitBot XL, taking the much-loved BitBot to the next level. There are several changes, some subtle, some not so subtle, to give a much-improved experience of using and working with the BitBit.

The Microsoft Makecode Extension for Bit:Bot also works for BitBot XL. Go to the Advanced tab or the Tools gear icon and select Extensions, then search for BitBot. It can automatically detect while running which version you have, or you can force it to be the Classic BitBot or the new XL.

  • Dimensions: approx 10% larger in length and width
  • Chunky wheels
  • Ready assembled with battery pack permanently attached
  • Motor gearboxes fully covered to minimise fluff, etc., in the gears
  • Microbit mounted vertically
  • Uses standard breakout connector for ultrasonic breakout
  • Line sensors no longer share pins with the Microbit buttons - removes all Bluetooth pairing issues and allows use of buttons in your code
  • Pen holder is fitted as standard and is mounted directly over the pivot point for better drawing
  • Indicator LEDs added for line follower sensors
  • 2 GVS outputs provided for potential servo usage with 5V power
  • Makecode extension has been changed so code is compatible with both Classic and XL versions
  • Buzzer now connected on Pin 0 so you can play music through it

Plus it still retains all these features from the classic BitBot:

  • 2 micro-metal gear motors, both fully controllable in software, for both speed and direction
  • Wheels with rubber tyres for maximum grip
  • Front ball castor
  • 12 smart RGB LEDs in 2 sets of 6 along the arms either side - select any colour for any pixel to produce stunning lighting effects as your Bit:Bot XL moves around
  • 2 digital line following sensors - code your own line-following robots and race them to see whose code gets the fastest lap time!
  • 2 analogue light sensors allow your Bit:Bot XL to be programmed to follow a light source such as a torch, or you could code it to go and hide in the darkest place it can find
  • Buzzer - make beeping sounds or music whenever you want
  • Powered from integrated 3x AA battery holder with on/off switch and blue indicator LED
  • Easily plug your BBC micro:bit in and out using the vertical edge connector
  • Expansion connections at the front for accessories
  • Two GVS connectors with 5V for servos (shared with light sensors)
