REKA:BIT with micro:bit V2 included

The REKABIT is a robotics kit designed to simplify the process of building and programming robots using the micro:bit, a small, low-cost computer designed for educational use. The kit includes a variety of components that can be easily connected to the micro:bit to create a functioning robot. The REKABIT also comes with a user-friendly software platform, which allows users to easily program their robots and control their movements using simple drag-and-drop commands. The kit is designed for beginners and is a great way for students and hobbyists to learn about robotics and programming in a fun and engaging way.

Program your REKA:BIT with Microsoft MakeCode Editor. Just add REKA:BIT MakeCode Extension and you’re good to go. If you’re a beginner, you can start with the block programming mode; simply drag, drop and snap the coding blocks together. For more advanced users, you can easily switch into JavaScript or Python mode on MakeCode Editor for text-based programming

REKA:BIT possesses a lot of indicator LEDs to assist your coding and troubleshooting. It covers the IO pins connected to all six Grove ports and DC motor outputs from the co-processor. One is able to check his/her program and circuit connection easily by monitoring these LEDs.

Besides, REKA:BIT also has power on/off indicator, undervoltage and overvoltage LEDs built-in to give appropriate warnings should there be any problem with the power input.

REKA:BIT features a co-processor to handle multi-tasking more efficiently. Playing music while controlling up to 4x servo motors and 2x DC motors, animating micro:bit LED matrix and even lighting up RGB LEDs in different colors, all at the same time, is not a problem for REKA:BIT.
