Can the grove vibration motor work with the microbit?

I’m a teacher using makecode blocks + microbit with students.

I tried digital write pin # to 1, but it doesn’t seem to work.

I’d appreciate any help you can give me!

I think, to connect the Grove vibration motor to the micro:bit, you’ll need a Grove shield or Grove breakout board that converts the Grove connectors to the micro:bit’s pinout.

Yes, the Grove vibration motor can work with the micro:bit. However, since the micro:bit does not have a built-in motor driver, you will need to use a motor driver or a motor controller board to interface the micro:bit with the Grove vibration motor.

One common approach is to use a Grove Motor Driver board, such as the Grove - I2C Motor Driver (TB6612FNG), which is compatible with the Grove system. The Grove Motor Driver board allows you to control motors, including the Grove vibration motor, using the micro:bit’s I2C interface.
