Hi @maijin658 , Welcome to the forum!

If you have a servo motor or regular motor that you can easily connect to the micro:bit, you can probably get it to vibrate some by moving the servo/motor back-and-forth quickly.

There are a few kits that include vibration motors or haptic feedback, like:

- [ELECFREAKS micro:bit Joystick:bit](https://shop.elecfreaks.com/products/elecfreaks-micro-bit-joystick-bit-v2-kit)
- [Kitronik :GAME ZIP 64](https://kitronik.co.uk/products/5626-game-zip-64-for-the-bbc-microbit)
- [Yahboom’s Wrist:bit](https://category.yahboom.net/products/wristbit)

Here’s an instructable that shows one way to connect a vibrating motor to the micro:bit: [https://www.instructables.com/CalmCuff/](https://www.instructables.com/CalmCuff/) **HOWEVER, the micro:bit isn’t able to supply enough current to activate many motors in this way. It may not work or not work well.** Many micro:bit electronic kits include a transistor to control a motor, which is usually more reliable.

Here’s a previous forum post about this sort of topic too: [Make Micro:bit vibrate remotely - #2 by bsiever](https://forum.makecode.com/t/make-micro-bit-vibrate-remotely/16002/2)

Good luck on the project!
