2. Hardware Assembly

Step 1

• Connect the micro:bit with the Ring:bit V2 with the shorter screws.

Step 2

• Fix the 7-hole bricks with the XGO with the longer screws.

Step 3

• Fix the Ring:bit V2 on the 7-hole bricks with the shaft pins.

Step 4

• Connect the Dupont cables with the Ring:bit V2(Note to connect in the right connections: G for black, blue for port 1 and yellow for port 2)

Step 5

• Connect the micro:bit with the computer through USB cables.

2.1. Programming

---

The program platform here we use for XGO is Makecode in the graphical programming, you can choose to program in Python or JaveScript too.
