The micro:bit expansion board Nexus:bit is specifically designed for robot programming, integrating motor/servo controllers as well as various sensor modules, including microphone and ultrasonic distance detector. It reduces complex wirings when you assemble your robot!
Nexus:bit is small for its size, has power safty features and already attain CE/FCC/RoHS cerfications. You can control Nexus:bit by simply using micro:bit’s official and free editor MakeCode, which makes it an ideal choice to learn coding on NexusBot, the transformer robot.

MakeCode Extension for Nexus:bit
Microsoft’s MakeCode graphic editor is already powerful enough, but it also allows users to develop their own custom extension to re-packaging complex functions into simple blocks. Just click and drag those blocks and kids can do coding on them! This is why TCEA designed an extension specifically for Nexus:bit. (You can still control your Nexus:bit by using standard MakeCode blocks, not limited by our custom extension.)
（To use this extension, go to the MakeCode editor and click Advanced -> Extension... then enter "nexusbit" in the search box. Click the extension which appears to import it.）
