The Hummingbird blocks are a light teal color. The blocks we use most often are:

Start Hummingbird
Hummingbird Position Servo
Hummingbird Rotation Servo

The blocks can also be found under the Advanced menu and Extensions.]]> 2019-02-03 19:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/327094284 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/334174723 This video shows the robot running code for question 1c.

How do I know if I have programmed my micro:bit?

My motors won't move.]]> 2019-10-07 20:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/394725155 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/992225816 Once you have built your motor mount, put your motors in and try this code.

This code runs both the rotation and position servos.

When button A is pressed, the rotation motor spins for 1 second and stops (port 1).

When button B is pressed, the position motor moves 90 degrees and back (port 2).]]> 2020-12-06 21:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/992225816 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1004095559 The Motor Mount Template is for building a stand to hold the servo motors.  There are two kinds of stands.  One mounts motors side-by-side and the other mounts motors back-to-back.

To use
1. Cut this template from paper.   
2. Trace around the shapes on cardboard.  
3. Glue parts together.]]> 2020-12-09 21:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1004095559 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1004132311 This zip file includes the MakeCode hex files for programming questions 1a - 1d.]]> 2020-12-09 21:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1004132311 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1061247496 Resources from the Hummingbird site]]> 2021-01-06 21:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1061247496 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124043731 Instructions for the bracket on the Hummingbird site are similar to the motor mounts here.]]> 2021-01-25 20:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124043731 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124055619 2021-01-25 20:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124055619 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124061329 2021-01-25 20:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124061329 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124066170 2021-01-25 20:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1124066170 biorobots https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1644693695 https://makecode.microbit.org/_hTjY1MaroUkd]]> 2021-07-11 20:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/biorobots/HB_bit/wish/1644693695
