4tronix Socketed Ultrasonic Sensor for Bit:Bot

These ultrasonic distance sensors bring more functionality to your Bit:Bot. The sensor is ready-soldered, just attach to your Bit:Bot with the screws provided and off you go.

When fitted, you just use Microsoft PXT (or MicroPython with some awkward code) to read the distance to an obstacle, then program your Bit:Bot to avoid it. Both Ping and Echo signals are on the same pin (Pin 15). This version has a socket soldered on the PCB that the sensor plugs into. The sensor unplugs easily to give access to the micro:bit USB download port, but isn't as robust.

• Introduce obstacle avoidance to your Bit:Bot
• Easy to fit
• Available as fixed or removable versions
