Description
The Clippable Detector board for the BBC micro:bit detects light, objects and can follow lines. It is compatible directly with the BBC micro:bit and some Kitronik boards, such as the Klip Motor Board.
The board uses phototransistors to detect the reflectiveness of various surfaces, and this board has 3 phototransistor sensors evenly spaced apart. The sensors supply the BBC microbit with an analog voltage. For full operation, it requires five connections. These connections match those on a BBC micro:bit and you can attach them with bolts or croc-clip leads.
Coding MakeCode Blocks:
Kitronik has produced a set of custom MakeCode blocks for the Clippable Detector board. To add them to the editor, select the cog icon in the top right of the editor. Then, select Extensions from the drop-down menu, and in the search bar type and enter Kitronik. Pick the tile from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor.
Coding MicroPython:
It is also possible to use MicroPython to write code for this board. For MicroPython example code visit our GitHub page here.
