Date: 04/06/2020

Plants are phototropic, where they bend and grow in the direction of the source of light present. In this activity, you are building a potted plant model using the 5×5 LED matrix of the micro:bit for light-sensing and controlling the servo motor’s movement. The leaves are built as a lever design pushed and pulled by the servo motor, measuring the amount of light present to look.
