This tutorial shows how to program the TCS34725 sensor which can be found in the Pimoroni Enviro:bit, Adafruit RGB and Flora sensor boards. These sensor boards all use the I2C ('eye squared see') protocol to communicate - this leaves lots of pins free on your micro:bit for controlling servo motors, LEDs, and even other I2C devices so you can build larger projects e.g., colour sorting machines, or robots. In this project, you will learn: how to set up the set up the Adafruit TCS34725 sensor with the micro:bit v2.x and makecode You will need: a micro:bit v2.x a Kitronik edge...
Use Python to add Multiple Servos to Your Self-watering Plant

This project will let you add an servo motor controller to your self-watering micro:bit project. The servo can be used to raise a flag or some sort of sign to indicate the status of your plant, and can even be located a few metres away from your self-watering plant!
The project can be run as a group activity, with one person programming the first micro:bit and their lab partner programming the second micro:bit. Alternatively, one person could program both micro:bits by having separate code in tabs within mu or Thonny editors.
