Material preparation

1 × micro:bit XGO Robot Kit V2

1 × Joysticks V2

Start Programming

Joystick:bit V2 and micro:bit XGO Robot Kit V2 both use the micro:bit as the main controller. Based on the Bluetooth function of the micro:bit V2, the two main controllers can communicate with each other. Therefore, this tutorial will program two devices through the graphical programming platform: MakeCode. Please open the official website link of the makecode platform: MakeCode. And follow the steps below to prepare the programming environment.
