Construct a Drawbridge (micro:bit V2) by Strawbees
Channel: Strawbees
Date: 2021-04-06

The drawbridge handles safe passage for boats to travel through the river canals, halting car traffic in the process. Using micro:bit V2 (version 2), the microphone listens for loud noises from oncoming boats, such as a clapping sound. When successfully heard, the servo motor pulls the mechanical linkage lifting the bridge, clearing for waterway traffic. The Robotics board also acts as the weight to provide stability as the drawbridge eventually lowers.
