BBC micro:bit with Kitronik Inventors Kit and Accessories

A BBC micro:bit with a Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit, a 1M anti-tangle USB Cable, a Battery Cage and 2 x AAA Batteries. Your BBC micro:bit will come in one of 4 colour schemes, unfortunately, it is not possible to specify which colour.

The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the BBC micro:bit. This Inventor's Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments.

To get you off to a flying start, we have included an easy-to-follow tutorial book which guides you through everything you will need to know about programming the BBC micro:bit. You don't need any experience with programming as the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way.

The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using our specially designed Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit in conjunction with the breadboard it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit.

Inventors Kit Add-On Packs:

The Kitronik Inventors Kit offers a great introduction to the world of physical computing. Its 12 experiments showcase how code and electronics can combine to create real-world everyday practical solutions to situations and problems. But why stop there?

The three add-on packs for the inventors kit have been specifically devised to introduce you to additional useful aspects of practical physical computing.

• ZIP LEDs Add-On Pack for Kitronik Inventors Kit for micro:bit - Learn how to write code to take control of ZIP LEDs and to 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 how they can be used with the micro:bit.
