38.2. Quick Start#

Materials Required#

Nezha expansion board × 1

micro:bit V2 × 1

Motors × 2

Gesture sensor × 1

Bricks × n

Tips: You may need to purchase Nezha Inventor’s Kit and Purchase Interactive coding accessories pack here. if you want all the above components.

Connection Diagram#

Insert the micro:bit, connect the motors to M1and M4 and the gesture sensor to IIC port on the Nezha expansion board as the picture shows.
