The Kitronik Alarm Clock Kit with ZIP Halo HD for micro:bit features a modified version of Halo HD. Included in the kit are the parts needed to assemble the clock and power accessories. Also included is an easy to follow tutorial book which will guide you through building your clock & checking all the LEDs are working correctly with some test code.

There are certain changes to this modified version such as power is now provided via a 2.1mm barrel jack connection. There is also a coin cell holder fitted to the rear of the board. When a 1220 coin cell battery is inserted, it will then provide power to the RTC chip when no power is being supplied to Halo HD. This ensures that you only have to set up the time for your project once.
