moveOS v0.5-alpha
Alpha Release - moveOS v0.5
Note: This source code contains only certain parts of the software and is not a ready product.
This is the first pre-release of moveOS, a piece of software made to accommodate a micro:bit, attached to a Kitronik :MOVE Mini Kit.*
Features: (in first alpha stage)
- An animated boot sequence, imitating a loading screen. It initializes the on-board display of the micro:bit board by displaying different frames at 2 FPS (an expanding square, a tick and a repeating arrow pointing left or right, repeated twice), and also uses the five LED lights of the kit in a way to accompany the symbols that are displayed on the board screen at a certain time.
- The test ability to click the A button on the board to turn the robot 90º to a different direction**.
Supported models of components:
- Kitronik :MOVE mini MK2 buggy kit (compatible with V1 & V2 of micro:bit) (store page)
- BBC micro:bit (1st or 2nd Generation - the source code is executed on a v1 board and shall work with a v2 model)
Method of download or redaction:
microbit-moveos05.hex may be placed in the directory of a connected micro:bit board. The moveos05.js file corresponds to the JavaScript source code of the program in HEX. Please consider the Copyright License of this repository.
Notes:
*The Kitronik :MOVE Mini Assembly Kit is sold separately from the micro:bit board. Please check the manufacturer's website for more information.
**The actual angle that the robot will twist into is set at 90º from the source code, but might not be properly done by the actual robot. This is caused by a lack of calibration of the servo motors. Please check the instruction manual of your kit if you encounter such issue.
