    Kitronik Digital Logic Pack for Inventor's Kit for Microbit

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    Learn to think logically with the Digital Logic Add-On for the Inventor's kit for micro:bit! This kit, along with Kitronik's Inventor's kit, serves as an introduction to logic gates and how they can be used in conjunction with the microbit.

    Logic gates are the basic building blocks of digital integrated circuits, the chips found in the majority of electronic products today. Although these experiments explore how individual logic gates work, in chips there could be millions of individual logic gates, depending on the size and complexity of the chip. For example, there are approximately 1.4 billion transistors in a quad core i7. If we assume that the average gate requires three transistors then that would give approx. 450 million gates.

    Included in this kit are 5 IC's, each a different type of logic gate. They are; AND, OR, XOR, NAND, and a NOT Gate. There are also colour coded stickers included, and these colours are used throughout the booklet in the circuit diagrams. The kit also contains 2 x 2N7000 FETs and a pack of 10 male to male jumper wires. Each experiment also makes use of components from our Inventor's kit for micro:bit, often LEDs as they offer a visual and immediate indication of the 'state' of gate inputs and outputs.

    The code has been created in the Microsoft MakeCode Editor and the code for each of the experiments can be downloaded from the resources section below. Kitronik have also produced Python code examples for each of the experiments, these are also available as a download from the resources section.

    Features:
  • Offers an easy to understand introduction to Digital Logic gates and combining these gates with the micro:bit.
  • This kit can be used as a teaching aid for Basic Digital Logic curriculum at KS3.
  • A fun and hands on introduction to the building blocks of ICs.

    Kitronik Inventor's Kit for Microbit

    KI 5603
    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 including using LEDs, motors, LDRs and capacitors.

    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. You'll be programming and creating circuits in no time!

    The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit provides a fantastic way of learning how to construct and control electronic circuits. 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.

    Note:BBC micro:bit is NOT included. This kit requires assembly.

    Features:
  • Make 10 experiments included in the provided step-by-step tutorial book.
  • All parts are included to conduct the 10 experiments (listed below).
  • Breaks out 21 accessible pins from the BBC micro:bit using the Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit (included).
  • Small Prototype Breadboard included for fast prototyping.
