    ElecFreaks Motor:bit for Micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Elecfreaks
    Motor:bit is a motor driving board based on micro:bit. It has integrated a motor driving chip, which is used to drive two motors with maximun 1.2A DC single channel current. It has also integrated 12 GVS ports (for connecting OCTOPUS series of electric bricks) and 1 IIC communication port. These ports allow you to extend with various sensors and electric modules.

    On the board, P3-P7, P9-P10 are IO ports for directly driving 3.3V devices; P13-P16, P19-P20(IIC port) support 3.3V/5V voltage switch. Sliding the voltage switch onboard, it is available to drive 3.3V or 5V devices. Besides, you can play music with the buzzer on motor:bit. Motor:bit is totally designed for DIYers. You can use it to create your own smart car or any funny projects.

    FEATURES
  • Support 2 DC motors.
  • Max driving current of single channel is 1.2A.
  • Extend 14-channel IO ports and lead out it by GVS pins. Among it, 6 ports support 3V/5V voltage switch.
  • With 1 passive buzzer on board.

    DETAIL

    M1-M2 Motor Connector

    M1 and M2 can separately connect a DC motor with max current of 1.2A.

    Passive Buzzer

    Once a passive buzzer is connected to the P0 port on micro:bit, it can play music.

    Power Switch

    Slide the switch to ON, power is connected; slide the switch to OFF, power is disconnected.

    Power Connector

    Power connector is available to connect with 6-12V DC power.

    VCC Voltage Switch

    Slide the switch to 5V, then VCC supply 5V power; slide the switch to 3.3V, then it provide 3.3V power. This switch is valid to 6 IO ports only: P13 / P14 / P15 / P16 / P19 / P20.

    G-VCC-S Standard GVS Port

    It contains 4 (P13-P16) GPIO ports and 1 IIC communication connector (P19-P20). You can connect 3.3V/5V devices to it according to the voltage change of VCC.

    G-3V3-S Standard GVS Port

    You can connect 8 devices working under 3.3V power supply. Among it, P3, P4, P10 can be used as analogue signal input connectors.

    micro:bit Golden Finger Socket

    You can plug your micro:bit into this socket.

    Picture of Grove Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

    Grove Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

    KI 46153
    The Grove Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is an ultrasonic transducer that utilizes ultrasonic waves to measures distance. It can measure from 3cm to 350cm with the accuracy up to 2mm. It is a perfect ultrasonic module for distance measurement, proximity sensors, and ultrasonic detector.

    This module has an ultrasonic transmitter and an ultrasonic receiver so you can consider it as an ultrasonic transceiver. Similar to sonar, when the 40KHz ultrasonic wave generated by the transmitter encounters the object, the sound wave will be reflected back, and the receiver can receive the reflected ultrasonic wave. It calculates the time from the transmission to the reception, and then multiplies it by the speed of the sound in the air(340 m/s) to calculate the distance from the sensor to the object.

    Compared with traditional ultrasonic module, the HC-SR04, the Grove Ultrasonic Distance Sensor integrates a single-chip microcomputer, and the transmitting signal and the receiving signal share one pin by time division multiplexing, so only one I/O pin is occupied. Another difference is that HC-SR04 only supports 5v voltage, while Grove - Ultrasonic Distance Sensor supports 5v and 3.3v. As we know, the Raspberry pi I/O only supports 3.3v. Therefore, Grove - Ultrasonic Distance Sensor can be directly connected to the I/O of the Raspberry Pi, but HC-SR04 needs to use a voltage conversion circuit.

    Features:
  • 3.3V/5V compatible, wide voltage level: 3.2V ∼ 5.2V.
  • Only 3 pins needed, save I/O resources.
  • Wide measurement range of 3cm ∼ 350cm.
  • Easy to use, grove connector, plug and play.

  • Possible Applications:
  • Distance measurement.
  • Ultrasonic detector.
  • Proximity alarm.
  • Smart car/buggy/robot.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 50mm.
  • Width: 25mm.
  • Height: 16mm.
