The world's first micro:bit drone!

Air:Bit combines the micro:bits ease of use with the excitement of a drone.

It is the world's first ever developed micro:bit drone, combining the relevant skills for mastering the future of technology.

It is a STEAM learning kit, which will engage students with a more practical and creative way of learning.

It is fully repairable and withstands a lot of crashes.

The best of all - it is affordable comparing to other drones.

Contents:

1 piece Air: bit complete with everything except micro: bit start set

Opt for propeller protectors for added safety

You will get links to detailed instructions for building the drone as well as code the remote from scratch.

Code for remote control and drone for download also included. We use block-based programming with Javascript capability.

Additional tasks: sinus function led control, crash detection, Yaw touch control

3d print file for download

Extra features are under development, see below

Extensions: (guides are still under development):

Create your own remote control or glove that you can control

Transform the drone into a cushion boat

Measure battery voltage, acceleration with more and show real-time graphs in the make: code editor

Programming movements over time (external altimeter recommended)

Programmer flips/loop

Mount LEDs or buzzer on the drone

Mount sonar or lidar for distance measurement, anti-collision and autonomous flight

Mount the micro servo and create a flying knit cannon

Class Pack

You need 2 micro: bits per. drone to control it with another micro: bit (easiest). If you use the iPad app or Android app, you can do with 1 micro: bit, but the learning plan is currently based on using 2 micro: bit.
