12.1. Purpose#
The Cutebot runs along the black line.
12.2. Materials#
1 x Cutebot kit
1 x Line-tracking Map(Homemade or enclosed in the Cutebot kit
12.3. Software Platform#
12.4. Programming#
Step 1#
Click the “Advanced” to see more choices in the MakeCode drawer.
A codebase is required for Cutebot programming, click “Add Package” at the bottom of the drawer, search
[Cutebot](https://www.elecfreaks.com/micro-bit-smart-cutebot.html)
in the dialogue box and download it.
Note: If you met a tip indicating incompatibility of the codebase, you can continue with the tips or build a new project there.
Step 2#
Choose “show icon” in the
On start
brick.
Step 3#
Drag three
if
bricks into theForever
brick.Judge if the status of line-tracking sensors is ○ ●, saying the left probe doesn’t detect the black line while the right probe detects the black line.
Set the left wheel speed to
50
and right to25
, make a right turn by the different speed of the two wheels and go back to the black line.Judge if the status of line-tracking sensors is ● ○ and make a left turn to go back to the black line.
When the status is ● ● that means the Cutebot runs along with the black line at the speed of
