    8. Example Code for micro:bit-Read Infrared Key Assignments

    - Learning Target: Learn to read the key assignments of infrared, so that later can be flexible use of these data. - Effect: Press any key on the IR remote controller, the key value that corresponds to the pressed key will be displayed on the LED matrix (show the last two digits of key value in decimal).

    9. Example Code for micro:bit-IR Remote Control

    - Learning Target: Learn to use the IR remote control to command the car. - Effect: Use the key 2, 8, 4, 6, and 5 on the IR remote controller to operate Maqueen.

    10. Example Code for micro:bit-Read Line-tracking Sensor

    - Learning Target: Learn to read the return value of Line-tracking sensor. - Effect: when Maqueen’s line-tracking sensor is put on the black line, the sensor outputs 0, and display 0 on the micro:bit LED matrix; if put on white area, output 1 and display 1 on the LED matrix.

    11. Example Code for micro:bit-Ultrasonic Obstacle-avoiding

    - Learning Target: Keep the car away from obstacles - Effect: The ultrasonic sensor constantly detect the distance between the Maqueen and obstacle ahead, if it is smaller then 30cm, Maqueen randomly turns left or right to avoid the obstacle.

    12. Example Code for micro:bit-Line-tracking

    - Learning Target: Let the car run along the black line. - Effect: Maqueen drives along the black line on the map. If you don’t have a map, you can make one using black adhesive tape.
