MakeCode Programming
Step 1
In MakeCode, click "Advanced" in the code drawer to view more code options.
To program the 4-channel line-tracking sensor, we need to add an extension library. Find "Extensions" at the bottom of the code drawer and click it. A dialog box will pop up; search for "PlanetX" and then click to download this code library.
Note: If you receive a prompt stating that some code libraries will be deleted due to incompatibility, you can proceed as prompted or create a new project in the Project Menu Bar.
Step 2
Write the Program as Shown in the Figure
