5. Gwida għall-Ipprogrammar

5.1. IR Remote Control Programming

To enable IR remote control, you need to download and flash the appropriate firmware to your Micro:bit board. Visit the official Yahboom website (link provided in the manual) and navigate to the Micro:bit robot repository. Download the 'IR Control.hex' file.

1. Connect your Micro:bit board to your computer using the provided USB data cable.
2. Copy the downloaded 'IR Control.hex' file to the 'MICROBIT' U disk that appears on your computer.
3. Wait for the green progress bar to complete, indicating a successful download.
4. Unplug the data cable and turn on the power switch of the car. The Micro:bit dot matrix will display a pattern, indicating the program is running.
5. Remove the plastic gasket from the IR controller's battery compartment.
6. Aim the transmitting tube of the IR controller at the receiving head on the side of the trolley expansion board to control the car.

5.2. APP Control Programming

For mobile app control, you need to download a different firmware and the control app.

1. Visit the official Yahboom website and download the 'Bluetooth Remote Control.hex' file.
2. Connect your Micro:bit board to your computer via USB and copy the 'Bluetooth Remote Control.hex' file to the 'MICROBIT' U disk.
3. Wait for the green progress bar to complete.
4. Unplug the data cable and turn on the car's power switch. The Micro:bit dot matrix will display an 'S' indicating the program is running.
5. Download the control app: Fittex għal 'Mbit' or 'Yahboom' in the Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS).
6. After installation, open your phone's settings, find the BST-Mbit app, and grant all necessary permissions, especially location and Bluetooth.
7. Open the BST-Mbit app. Move your phone close to the robot car; Bluetooth will connect automatically.
8. Once connected, the Micro:bit dot matrix pattern will change, and you can control the car via the app interface.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Once programmed, your Yahboom Microbit V2 Smart Robot Car can perform various actions based on the loaded firmware and control method.

6.1. IR Remote Control Operation

Use the directional buttons on the IR remote to move the car forward, backward, left, and right. The remote also has buttons to control the RGB lights and display dot matrix patterns on the Micro:bit.

6.2. APP Control Operation

The mobile app provides a graphical interface for controlling the robot. You can use virtual joysticks or buttons to command movement, change RGB light colors, play music, and activate specific functions like obstacle avoidance or line tracking, depending on the loaded program.

7. Manutenzjoni

• Keep the robot car and its components clean and dry.
• Aħżen il-kit f'post frisk u niexef 'il bogħod mix-xemx diretta u minn temperaturi estremi.
• Ensure the lithium battery is charged regularly and handled according to safety guidelines.
• Periodically check all connections and screws to ensure they are secure.

8 Issolvi l-problemi

• Il-karozza ma tirrispondix: Ensure the Micro:bit is properly inserted, the power switch is on, and the battery is charged. Verify that the correct firmware is flashed for your chosen control method (IR or APP).
• IR Remote not working: Check if the plastic gasket has been removed from the remote's battery. Ensure the remote is aimed directly at the IR receiver on the expansion board. Perform this indoors to minimize sunlight interference.
• APP not connecting: Confirm Bluetooth and location permissions are enabled for the BST-Mbit app on your phone. Ensure the 'Bluetooth Remote Control.hex' firmware is loaded onto the Micro:bit.
• Imġieba mhux mistennija: Re-flash the firmware to ensure a clean program installation. Check all physical connections for looseness.
