The PCB has been designed to have the same physical features of a traffic light, with the addition of a BBC micro:bit as the pedestrian crossing control box. The STOP:bit has 3 10mm diameter LEDs. Each of these LEDs is driven from one of the BBC micro:bit IO pins. Power to the LEDs is supplied from the BBC micro:bit connections. STOP:bit is supplied with 4 countersunk screws which gives you the option of bolting the microbit directly onto the STOP:bit. Alternatively, crocodile clips can be used between the pads on the STOP:bit and the corresponding pads on the microbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your scope is larger than a single traffic light, you can use the microbits radio module to communicate with other lights if they also have a microbit attached. This is great for exploring traffic management in a town or city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also had some custom blocks added to the MakeCode Editor to make the job of coding this project much more simple. This will allow you to do this project in class with younger students. This is further reinforced by STOP:bit being pre-assembled, so there is no soldering or fiddly mechanical fixings, other than those used to secure the microbit, to worry about. However, you are not confined to using our custom blocks, you can also use the 'digital write pin' block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo add our custom blocks to the editor; Click on the cog in the top right of the editor and select 'Add Package' from the menu. This will open a dialogue window with a search box. Type Kitronik into the search box and all of our custom blocks will appear as tiles. Scroll down and select the tile titled 'kitronik-stopbit' and it will be added to the blocks menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade your microbit traffic light\/pedestrian crossing projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode it with the Microsoft MakeCode Editor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe have added some custom blocks to the MakeCode Editor to make the job of coding more straightforwards, which opens up the project to younger children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttach the BBC micro:bit directly to STOP:bit for a tidy wireless project.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt comes pre-assembled and looks great.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf using multiple STOP:bits you can use radio to coordinate traffic management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContains:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x STOP:bit for the BBC micro:bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 x M3 8mm Countersunk Screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 x M3 Hex Full Nut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 120mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Width: 38mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 15.6mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCB Thickness: 1.6mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kitronik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221515096391,"sku":"KI 5642","price":4.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/6028\/6791\/files\/0028911_kitronik-stopbit-traffic-light-for-bbc-microbit-v1-v2_5a5e7f3f-d5bf-4096-b5d5-8c9a89ac570a.jpg?v=1782297218"},{"product_id":"sg-micro-bit-v2-project-kit-1","title":"SG micro:bit V2 Project Kit","description":"Build up to six projects straight out of the box with this great value SG Education Project Kit for the BBC micro:bit.
