    Kitronik Alarm Clock Kit with ZIP Halo HD for Micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    Explore time, light, and also sound with the Kitronik Alarm Clock Kit, a fun and hands-on introduction to the ZIP Halo HD.

    Kitronik Alarm Clock Kit: The Kitronik Alarm Clock Kit with ZIP Halo HD for microbit provides a fun introduction to features of Halo HD. This kit features a modified version of Halo HD, all of the parts required to build the clock, and also power accessories. We have included an easy-to-follow tutorial book which will guide you through building your clock. Additionally, there are online tutorials within MakeCode. The modified version of Halo HD changes are as follows; power is now provided via a 2.1mm barrel jack connection and 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.

    ZIP Halo HD : The Kitronik Halo HD board for the BBC micro:bit incorporates 60 individually addressable full-colour ZIP LEDs. It also breaks out P1/P2 to a standard 0.1” footprint, it features a MEMS mic for detection of sound, and a buzzer to play sound. It also features an onboard real-time clock (RTC). The board has M3 mounting holes for a more sturdy project. Kitronik has created custom blocks for the ZIP Halo HD for use with MakeCode. To add these blocks; Under the “Advanced” section click on “Extensions”. In the next window search for “Halo HD”. Then, click on the tile to import it into MakeCode. You will see that the blocks are split across three categories; ZIP LEDs, Microphone and Clock. For those requiring more of a challenge, the Alarm Clock Kit kit can also be coded with MicroPython.

    The ZIP Halo HD supplied with this kit is powered via a 2.1mm Barrel jack connection. The kit is supplied with a 3 x AA Battery Cage with Lead and 2.1mm DC jack. The adapter cable is for use with a separate power supply (not included). A regulated supply is produced on the board to power the connected BBC micro:bit. Halo HD has also been fitted with an ON/OFF switch, switch it off when not in use and the onboard coin cell will keep the memory of the RTC chip alive.

    NOTE:Ensure that when using a power supply that it is rated for at least 1A and 5V.

    Kitronik General Purpose Screwdrivers Pack of 10

    KI 26120-10
    This pack of general-purpose terminal style screwdrivers are perfect for working with boards/devices that feature terminal style connectors. These screwdrivers are supplied as a pack of 10 and all 10 screwdrivers feature identical red coloured handles. Terminal block connectors are a great solderless solution for wiring projects up and a set of terminal style screwdrivers are a must for every workshop.

    The screwdrivers are approximately 80mm in length, with the split between handle and shaft an even 50/50 at approximately 40mm each. Small enough to be super convenient and large enough to be perfect for the job in hand. Although small, the striking red coloured handles will enable you to spot them straight away; on a cluttered desktop, in a tool drawer, or any other typical tool discarding spot! As you know, it's always much easier to look for one colour at a time!

    Features:
  • Perfect for working with boards/devices that feature terminal style connectors.
  • Supplied as a pack of 10.
  • 80mm total length, with a 50/50 split between handle and shaft.
  • All ten screwdrivers have striking red coloured handles.
  • Easy to use and easy to spot.
  • Many of our accessory boards for Pico and micro:bit feature terminal style connectors and these screwdrivers are the perfect fit.

  • Dimensions:
  • Total Length: 80mm (nominal).

    Kitronik ZIP Halo for Microbit

    KI 5625
    Add some colour to your next coding project with our new Halo board for the BBC micro:bit. The Halo has 24 ZIP LEDs, which are individually addressable full-colour LEDs. This means that each LED can display a huge spectrum of colours, allowing amazing colourful effects to be achieved.

    The Halo bolts directly onto the BBC micro:bit using five bolts which are secure and robust. The board also has extension connector pads (0.1” pitch) allowing more ZIP LEDs to be connected. The P1 and P2 micro:bit pins are also broken out to 0.1" pads along with power and GND. This allows for additional connections to low power components such as sensors and switches.

    The Halo takes a supply voltage of 3.5V-5V and provides a regulated power supply to BBC micro:bit. Power can be connected using the JST input using a 3xAAA battery holder, LiPo battery, or JST lead. Alternatively, you can solder a power supply directly to the solder pads on the PCB. The LEDs used are based on the WS2812B part which is compatible with any WS2812B driver code. They can also be coded in the MakeCode Block/Javascript editor.

    Features:
  • Halo has 24 individually addressable ZIP LEDs.
  • Compatible with Adafruit NeoPixel and other WS2812B driver code.
  • Supply voltage: 3.5V to 5V.
  • Halo bolts directly onto the BBC micro:bit.
  • The board also has extension connector pads.
