01Jacdac DuckyBot Makecode Quick Start
Introduction
Jacdac KitB is the second set of robot kits for Microsoft Jacdac protocol developed by KittenBot. KitB is an electronic module extension kit for KitA. KitB includes 8 electronic modules: Accelerometer, Env Sensor, RGB Strip, Servo, Power, Haptic Output, Relay, Ultrasonic, and a new Hub. KitB combines the outer packaging with the electronic module to form a mini robot.
You can also use KB RP2040 Brain or Grape:bit as the main control, and program and control it under the DeviceScript platform.

Feature
The paper box packaging not only serves as a storage function, but also combines the modules to form a robot
Users do not need to care about the port connection or port characteristics, just plug it in, reducing the user's use cost
New programming experience, plug and play programming blocks, much better than looking for the required blocks in a pile of blocks in the past
The Jacdac interface is similar to the USB Type-C connection experience, and can be connected in both positive and negative directions.
The newly embodied connection form is no longer the point radiation connection from the main control to the module. The connection link can be branched arbitrarily, and the wiring is more free, and the work is not restricted. It is more prominent in some complex wiring or large works.
