My bestest mate is cutting his hair to raise money for Myeloma UK - one of our other mates has got this far too young. If you get paid before Xmas throw some money his way (do so in Feb - plenty of time!) - follow the QR code! justgiving.com/page/david-col…

Yes it's true, I will be shaving my hair to raise money for Myeloma UK. Please RT and donate if you can! #gandalfthebald

It's getting real now... 19th Feb incoming! Myeloma UK David Colter #GandalfTheBald justgiving.com/page/david-col…

#BBC #microbit

Marking up, cutting out, filing smooth, finished! A new #microbit DAVE robot chassis under construction...

Marking out the holes for the motor and caster. These must be in line or the #microbit robot will veer off course.

The #microbit robot under construction.

The wiring is completed and the second Digital Autonomous Vehicle for Education is ready! #microbit

DAVE 2 has reversible motors thanks to the Kitronik #microbit motor driver board. Code is in MicroPython.

Retweet if you had a BBC Micro at your school...

I have written a blog describing how you can make a #microbit robot using the Kitronik motor driver board: microbitrobot.blogspot.com

This is the clap counting MicroPython code for the DAVE 2 #microbit robot using the Kitronik motor driver board: microbit.co.uk/plidkygugs

@BBCOpenSource You are welcome!

If you saw DAVE 2 the #microbit robot at #FOSDEM then you can learn more about the building and coding at microbitrobot.blogspot.co.uk

Both DAVE #microbit robots together. You can see the evolution from edge connector to motor driver board, both made by Kitronik

DAVE the #microbit robot using #micropython radio and accelerometer features for remote control. Coded with Mu codewith.mu

@cekth The micro:bits have radio on board. Using micropython they can talk to each other easily.Other languages use a BlueTooth protocol.
