Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10224:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The BitBot PRO delivers a leap forward in precision robotics for educational, prototyping, and hobbyist applications. Enhanced with an onboard processor and advanced motor control, it offers highly accurate movement, making it ideal for projects requiring more accurate navigation, such as maze solving, classroom demonstrations, and other robotics experiments. With upgraded sensors, improved sound capabilities, and a streamlined power supply, the BitBot PRO ensures a smooth, versatile experience for users looking to integrate robotics into STEM education or personal projects. ### Technical Specifications - **On-board processor** for intelligent motor control - **Hall effect sensors**: 100 pulses per centimetre resolution - **Drive modes**: Straight-line movement, precise angle turning, and arc movement with radius and angle definition - **Line following**: 3 analogue sensors (left, centre, right) with digital mode and threshold calibration - **Sounds**: Programmable buzzer with adjustable volume and pitch, compatible with Makecode Music blocks - **InfraRed receiver** for remote control (compatible with 4tronix InfraRed remote controller - optional) - Additional mounting holes for custom attachments - Upgraded chunky, grippy wheels with improved fit ### How to Use Start by connecting your BitBot PRO to [a BBC micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html). Use the updated Makecode Extension, which offers dedicated blocks for wheel movement, arc driving, and line following. The extension includes: - Accurate distance and angle movement blocks - Analogue and digital line sensor blocks with automatic or manual threshold adjustment - Integrated sounder blocks for music and buzzer control - InfraRed control blocks for remote event handling For advanced users, MicroPython support is available with community-contributed resources found at [GitHub - BitBot PRO MicroPython Library](https://github.com/BTWS2/bitbot_pro). ### What's Included - BitBot PRO robot chassis ([micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) not included) - Pre-installed intelligent motor control system - Upgraded line sensors and buzzer - Integrated InfraRed receiver - Instruction guide and Makecode Extension support **What's required** - 3x [AA Batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/aa-batteries.html) - [micro:bit board](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) - we recommend [the GO Bundle](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-go-kit-australia.html), allowing for other projects and learning opportunities ### Compatibility The BitBot PRO is fully compatible with the following: - Makecode Editor for block-based coding - MicroPython environments (with available community library) ### Additional Resources - [MicroPython Library by Brecht Willems](https://github.com/BTWS2/bitbot_pro) - Official Makecode Extension for BitBot PRO (integrated in Makecode editor) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/C/E/CE10224-3.jpg)
