The Buggy Base found in the Itty Bitty Buggy kit is a unique piece of hardware. It contains the following:

  • Motor driver
  • 2 Motors
  • 2 Line Finders
  • 2 Color LEDs
  • Buzzer

The above components are not controlled directly (i.e. via pins). Rather there is an embedded micro-controller which controls those components. The embedded micro-controller can be communicated via serial communication.

Buggy Base was developed to a line-detecting vehicle base, but can be re-purposed for other uses such as a walking robot or climbing robot (as shown in the Itty Bitty Buggy projects).

Compatible Pins

The Buggy Base is controllable over serial communication. When using mDesigner, the serial pins used are Serial1, which are pins 2/3 on a mCenter+ (Core+) module.

Car - Direction block

Car - Turn block

Motor - Set Speed block

Motor - Stop

ColorLED - Set Color block

Car - Color Trace block

Car - Stop Trace block

Line Finder - Detect Color block

Buzzer - Play Note block

Buzzer - Play Song block

Buzzer - Off
