Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC Micro:bit - No Micro:Bit
KT5603
$49.95 - $68.95
Description
The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC Micro:bit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments. Experiments include using LEDs, motors, and capacitors. It is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction on the BBC micro:bit.
The kit includes an easy-to-follow tutorial book that guides you through programming the BBC micro:bit. There is no need for programming experience because the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way.
The Kitronik Inventor's Kit is an excellent way to learn how to build and control electronic circuits. The BBC micro:bit has a number of pins located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using the specially designed Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit in conjunction with the breadboard (see below), it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit.
Add-on Packs
Three add-on packs for the inventors kit are available, these introduce you to aspects of practical physical computing. (Not included in the kit)
- ZIP LEDs Add-On Pack for Kitronik Inventors Kit for micro:bit - you will learn how to write code to take control of ZIP LEDs and also learn how to make ZIP LEDs respond to input from components such as potentiometers and sensors.
- Noise Pack for Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit - learn how to manipulate sound, build instruments, amplify your sounds, and how to shape your sounds with Filtering and EQ.
- Digital Logic Pack for Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit - learn how logic gates work and also how they can be used in conjunction with the micro:bit.
Note:
- This kit requires assembly.
- No soldering required and you can build your first circuit in minutes.
- This kit does not include a BBC microbit.
- If you purchase a microbit separately you may also need to purchase a Battery Cage and a USB Cable, depending on which microbit option you purchase.
All of the experiments included in this booklet (listed below) are based on the Microsoft MakeCode Editor. And also, you can find MicroPython code examples for each of the experiments plus video resources.
BBC micro:bit available as an optional extra.
