Additional Information

  • In MakeCode, there are two modes: Matrix Mode and Obstacle Avoidance Mode.
    • Matrix Mode: By selecting different I2C addresses, it supports cascading up to 4 sensors for simultaneous use.
    • Obstacle Avoidance Mode: This is a test function intended solely for testing purposes. It may contain bugs or have limitations in user experience.
