I have just finished a microPython library for Maqueen Plus V2. https://github.com/jdonwells/micropython-MaqueenPlusV2

I just finished creating functions for micropython to control a Maqueen Plus V2. https://github.com/jdonwells/micropython-MaqueenPlusV2 Micropython for micro:bit is at https://python.microbit.org/v/3/

I created a set of 6 youtube videos for a series of projects with the Maqueen robot. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuLlqVsAqKvAg_6iwGiZfCcoqqMBT9pa7 They each have a presentation and project description. Each project builds on the previous one.

I am working on using the Unihiker with my Maqueen Plus V2. I got a small battery for the Unihiker. It weighs 122g, has 6000mAh of power, and produces 2.1 amps. The Unihiker needs 2 amps. I got it from Amazon for $16 during Black Friday. Sethruki is the manufacturer.

I just noticed there is a version block. So we need this for now.

Looking at the PCB I see that my older robots are V2.0 while my 3 new robots are V2.1. Is there a way to change the GitHub extension to detect the board version and make the adjustments in the extension code? 

Also the V2.1 run much faster! Different gear ratio? That is a bit chaotic in the classroom. But not as much as the sensor issue.
