The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is a versatile and beginner-friendly tool designed to introduce students to robotics, coding, and engineering. Developed by BirdBrain Technologies, the kit includes a programmable microcontroller, servo motors, sensors, and LEDs, allowing users to build interactive projects using everyday materials. It supports multiple programming languages, including Python, Scratch, and Arduino, making it an excellent choice for students of all skill levels. With its hands-on approach, the Hummingbird Kit fosters creativity and critical thinking, making STEM education engaging and accessible.

Naturally, the Hummingbird Robotics Simulator is a great place to start!

Code Blocks View

After adding the Servos extension, we use the code block to rotate the Servo at different speeds and different directions. For added effect, we added a beep to indicate the end of the action.

 

Python Code View

When we tab over to view the code, we see the Python code output for the Hummingbird library. You can see how simple the code is. Remember that the basic.pause() time is in milliseconds. So 5000ms = 5 seconds.
