Add line following capability to your Kitronik :MOVE mini buggy for the BBC micro:bit with this easy-to-assemble add-on kit. No soldering required — just mechanical assembly using the included hardware.
Once built, the left and right sensors can be individually adjusted with a screwdriver to fine-tune sensitivity. Example code is provided to follow a dark line on a light background, and can be modified to follow a light line on a dark background.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CS
- CS stands for chip select, a control pin used by SPI devices to tell which connected device should listen. It matters when you connect more than one SPI module to the same microcontroller, because each device usually needs its own CS pin.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
