The SparkFun micro:bot kit v2.0 combines the SparkFun moto:bit carrier board with a robot chassis to create a flexible, low-cost robotics platform powered by the BBC micro:bit. Build and program simple robots without soldering — just add your own micro:bit and start moving.
The moto:bit carrier board provides motor control, Qwiic connectivity for I²C sensors, and a familiar micro:bit edge connector. The kit includes everything needed to assemble a complete robot except the micro:bit itself.
Key Features
- No Soldering Required – Fully assembled carrier board, just add a micro:bit
- moto:bit Carrier Board – Motor driver with Qwiic connector for I²C expansion
- Beginner Friendly – Simple assembly with step-by-step experiment guide
- Expandable – Add sensors and peripherals via the Qwiic ecosystem
Ideal For
- Introduction to robotics and programming
- micro:bit projects and STEM education
- Classroom and workshop activities
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
