Kitronik Pen Lifter for :MOVE Motor

Unleash your creativity with the Pen Lifter add-on for the :MOVE Motor for BBC micro:bit. Designed to make full use of the built-in pen hole, this add-on gives you precise control over when the pen is engaged—all through code.

Once installed, the Pen Lifter securely holds the pen in place, and the included servo enables smooth raising and lowering of the pen. This allows you to draw intricate patterns while avoiding unwanted travel lines between shapes.

The kit includes three laser-cut parts, a 180-degree servo, a rubber band, and all the necessary fixings for assembly. No soldering is required—just some simple mechanical construction. A detailed booklet is included to guide you through each step of the assembly process.

To help you get started quickly, we’ve also created an online MakeCode tutorial. Follow along step-by-step, building your code directly in the editor as you go.
