What You Will Learn
- Switch a DC motor on and off safely using a relay module.
- Wire a real circuit on a breadboard using the motor components.
- Follow official wiring diagrams and choose between block code or Python (MicroPython).
How to Get Started
1. Click Open Official Freenove Guide above to go to the official documentation page.
2. Check the component list and wire up the circuit exactly as shown in the diagram.
3. Choose MakeCode (block code) or Python with Mu — both are provided on the page.
4. Flash the code to your micro:bit and test the circuit, adjusting wiring if needed.
5. Read the code explanation on the page to understand exactly how it works, then try the extensions.
