$31.95 - $60.95
Description
This Kitronik:KLEF Piano is a capacitive-touch keyboard for BBC micro:bit that allows you to compose a monophonic microbit musical masterpiece. Featuring a full octave Piano Keyboard which consists of 15 capacitive touch pads, with 13 arranged as a single octave and 2 up down function buttons that can allow you to shift octaves. It also features an on-board amplifier circuit, an on-board speaker, and an on-board edge connector that the micro:bit slots into.
To use the Piano, just insert the BBC micro:bit firmly into the edge connector, either way around. If the Link Header is being used, the BBC micro:bit LED display should be facing the Piano keys.
A 5V micro USB connector provides power, and the board then generates a regulated 3.3V supply. This is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit. Thus removing the need to power the BBC micro:bit separately. This also powers the capacitive touch sensor IC and audio amplifier.
