This tipper truck extension kit is made from the same materials as :MOVE mini, designed with :MOVE mini aesthetics in mind, and is also supplied with the servo necessary to move the trailer of the tipper truck up and down.
There is a simple :Lite board hack servo that allows the control of the third servo, you can find out how here. Once the kit is fully assembled, the Tipper Truck can be coded with Microsoft's MakeCode editor.
Note: To use this accessory, you must enable the third servo feature in order to connect the third servo to the Servo:Lite board; this requires some soldering. The base pins required for this purpose are supplied with this kit. In addition, activating the third servo deactivates the ZIP LEDs on the card.
