Kitronik :MOVE Motor Klaw Kit for micro:bit

The Kitronik Motor Klaw Kit provides a fun and easy-to-install accessory that adds gripping functionality to your Kitronik Motor buggy for the micro:bit. This versatile kit has been carefully designed for flexible mounting, allowing the Klaw to be fitted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation using a single bolt, adapting to your specific project needs.

Included with the kit are two distinct types of Klaw attachments, one for each mounting style.

Power, voltage supply, and the control signal are all conveniently drawn directly from the Motor base unit via its pin headers; simply plug the servo lead in to connect.

Programming the Klaw is straightforward and supports two popular coding environments: Microsoft MakeCode and MicroPython. Kitronik provides comprehensive online guides that walk you through the coding process for both platforms, ensuring you can get your robotic gripper up and running quickly. Full assembly instructions are also included, making the build process simple and accessible for beginners and experienced makers alike.

The kit comes complete with all necessary components for assembly, including the servo, screws, and laser-cut parts. It’s an ideal educational tool for learning about robotics, mechanics, and coding, encouraging hands-on STEM learning and creative project building. Easily expand the capabilities of your Motor buggy with this engaging and functional Klaw attachment.
