16. Case 12: Remote Control the Cutebot with micro:bit Accelerometer¶
16.1. Purpose¶
- Use the accelerometer in another micro:bit to remote control the Cutebot for the direction and speed.
- Both of the micro:bit need to be programmed.
16.4. 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
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: Remote Control Programming¶
- Set “radio set group” to
1
in theOn start
brick. - Set
x
whose value is given by “acceleration (mg) x” exactly divides10
to the radio value inforever
brick. - Set
y
whose value is given by “acceleration (mg) y” exactly divides10
to the radio value inforever
brick. - The scope of the acceleration value is
0
~1024
, which can be regarded roughly as the speed value in0
~100
after dividing10
.

Step 3: Cutebot Programming¶
- Set the “radio set group” to
1
in theOn start
brick. Items must be the same with the remote control for the correct match. - Drag two “if” bricks into the
on radio received
brick and judge if the radio revived valuename
isx
ory
- If the radio received value
name
isx
, it is the data forX
and then save thevalue
in the variablexValue
. - If the radio received value
name
isy
, it is the data fory
and then save thevalue
in the variableyValue
. - In
forever
brick, set the left wheel speed toyValue
+xValue
and right wheel speed toyValue
-xValue
.
