Kitronik Clippable Detector Board V1.0 - V1 & V2

Manufacturer: Kitronik
The Clippable Detector board for the BBC micro:bit detects light, objects and can follow lines. The board is compatible directly with the BBC micro:bit and certain Kitronik boards, such as the Klip Motor Board.

The board works by using phototransistors to detect the reflectiveness of different surfaces. The Clippable Detector board has 3 phototransistor sensors evenly spaced out from each other. The sensors provide an analogue voltage to the BBC microbit. Five connections are required for full operation. These connections match those on a BBC micro:bit and can be attached using either bolts or croc-clip leads.

Kitronik have produced a set of custom MakeCode blocks for the Clippable Detector board. To add them to the editor, select the cog icon in the top right of the editor. Then, select Extensions from the drop down menu and in the search bar type and enter Kitronik. Pick the tile from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor. It is also possible to use MicroPython to write code for this board.

Features:
  • Use the board to detect light, objects or to follow lines.
  • The board is fitted with 3 phototransistors that detect the reflectiveness of different surfaces.
  • Connect the board directly to the micro:bit or connect using croc-clip leads.
  • Kitronik created custom MakeCode blocks to make the job of coding as easy as possible.

    ElecFreaks Experiment box for Micro:bit (no mincrobit included)

    EF08200
    Experiment microbit box Kit is a multifunction micro box experiment equipment that is based on professional experimental equipment and the actual physics learning situation. You will learn how to use the science lab kits to programmatically control physical circuits.

    Note: Microbit is not included

    Features:
  • Portable design with all components in the box to avoid loosing anything
  • The banana line and the joint are common connection which can be widely used for power, signal detection, mutimeter, lead test and circuit boards maintenance.
  • For this Experiment Box, you'll use banana plug wires to connect different components. These wires are easy to insert and pull out yet still create stable connections.
  • Meanwhile, using banana plugs lays a foundation for further circuit design.

    Kitronik STOP:bit Traffic Light for BBC micro:bit

    KI 5642
    The STOP:bit for the BBC micro:bit is the ultimate upgrade for traffic light/pedestrian crossing projects. Not only does it make coding the project a breeze, but the board is also supplied pre-assembled so you don't even need to fire up the soldering iron. Love it or hate it, variations of the pedestrian crossing project have been around for decades. When I did mine, it was on a 6502 EMMA board and coded with Assembly and it also included a level crossing. Thankfully, tapping low-level programming languages into a hexadecimal keypad is now a thing of the past. The Kitronik STOP:bit is a purpose-built accessory that can only lead to a more enjoyable project with a nicer looking end result.

    Kitronik Right angle geared Hobby Motor- In line Motor

    KI 2547
    This 90RPM in-line geared TT hobby motor is a great cost-effective solution for adding some movement to your buggy/robot builds. It can be used with our matching wheels and with our motor driver boards, such as our Motor Driver Board for Raspberry Pi Pico and the Compact Motor Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit, to name just two. Note: when using a microcontroller, do not drive these motors directly with the microcontroller, always use them in conjunction with a motor driver board.

    Despite their low price point, these brightly coloured 120:1 motors are quite durable and are likely to last through multiple builds with ease.

    Although there is a gearbox between the motor and the shaft, there are no rotary encoders. When connected to an appropriate motor driver, like the two listed above, you get forwards/backwards/stop. Simple yet effective. With 2 motors connected to a motor driver, you can also have directional control by turning off one motor and not the other. As is sometimes the case with servos and motors, there can be some small RPM differences between motors which can be overcome when coding, a little trial end error and the odd pause is usually all it takes.

    These hobby motors have an operating voltage of between 3V and 6V, with 4.5V being nominal. This makes them suitable for powering with batteries. At 4.5V, they have a speed of 90RPM no-load and 72RPM at load. Torque at the nominal 4.5V is 0.3Kg/cm and they have a stall torque rating of 1.4Kg/cm. See Datasheet for more information.

    Note:When using a microcontroller, do not attempt to drive these motors directly with the microcontroller, always use them in conjunction with a motor driver board.

    Features:
  • A cost-effective movement solution for your buggy/robot builds.
  • Use in conjunction with a microcontroller, motor driver board, and wheels.
  • A simple yet durable design with a ratio of 120:1.
  • They are rated for an operating voltage of between 3V and 6v, with 4.5V being nominal.
  • They can be powered with batteries.
  • At 4.5V, they have a speed of 90RPM no-load and 72RPM at load.
  • Torque at the nominal 4.5V is 0.3Kg/cm and they have a stall torque rating of 1.4Kg/cm
