Line Following Add-On for :MOVE mini V2

This Kitronik add-on kit equips the :MOVE mini for the BBC micro:bit with line following capability. It suits educators and hobbyists who want to extend the robot's behaviour without soldering. The kit includes the sensor interface board, line following board, connector cable and mounting hardware. Assembly instructions cover both the MK2 and original :MOVE mini versions.

Tool-Free Assembly with Adjustable Sensitivity

All parts fit together using the supplied screws and nuts, so no soldering iron is required. Once built, the left and right sensor sensitivity can be trimmed individually with a screwdriver for smooth tracking. The board detects either a dark line on a light surface or a light line on a dark surface. Backward compatibility lets the same kit work on first-generation chassis.

Dual-Mode Line Detection

The sensor board operates in two modes: dark line on light background or light line on dark background. This single specification decides whether the add-on matches the track design used in a classroom or competition. Example code is provided to help users get started quickly.
