Joy-Car Demo
This demo program for the Joy-Car shows the main functions of the vehicle and enables a simple demonstration of its capabilities. It offers three different modes that can be switched using buttons A and B on the micro:bit. Each mode represents a central function of the Joy-Car:
- Mode 0 - Obstacle detection with moving ultrasonic sensor: In this mode, the ultrasonic sensor is used to detect obstacles. The sensor is mounted on a servo motor and can move to scan obstacles at different angles.
- Mode 1 - Line tracking: Here the Joy-Car follows a black line using the line sensors on the underside. This mode demonstrates the vehicle's ability to move automatically along a defined route.
- Mode 2 - Remote control: In this mode, the Joy-Car can be controlled manually via a remote control or other input methods, allowing interactive control of the vehicle.
By simply switching modes, the program offers a versatile way of testing and presenting the Joy-Car's functions.

Calliope
Due to the extensive range of functions of this project, it is only offered in MicroPython and not in MakeCode. Since only MakeCode support is provided for the Calliope mini with the Joy-Car, this project is unfortunately not available for the Calliope.
