Kitronik KLEF Piano for Microbit - V1 & V2

Manufacturer: Kitronik
Compose a monophonic microbit musical masterpiece with the Kitronik :KLEF Piano for the BBC micro:bit. It features 15 capacitive touch pads, with 13 arranged as a single octave and 2 up down function buttons that can allow you to shift octaves.

:KLEF also features; an onboard amplifier circuit for extra 'more', an onboard speaker, and an onboard edge connector that the micro:bit slots into.

To use the Piano, the BBC micro:bit should be inserted firmly into the edge connector, either way around. If the Link Header is being used, the BBC micro:bit LED display should be facing the Piano keys. Kitronik has produced a MakeCode getting started guide which you can follow here.

Power is provided via a 5V micro USB connector. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit, removing the need to power the BBC micro:bit separately. This also powers the capacitive touch sensor IC and audio amplifier.

The potential uses for the :KLEF Piano for the BBC micro:bit doesn't have to be just musical in nature. You can use the piano keys to transmit from the micro:bit attached to the board to other micro:bits over radio. And if that other microbit happened to be inserted into a :MOVE mini... Piano remote control! You can even take control of the :MOVE minis ZIP LEDs!

    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 LAMP:bit - Street Light for BBC micro:bit

    KI 5643
    The LAMP:bit features connections which allow the microbit to be bolted/clipped directly to it. It has been designed to replicate a streetlight, in form and function. This is a great board for use in transportation projects and has been designed to fit the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit, so that they can be used together in the same projects.

    The board also features a phototransistor that can be used to react to changes in ambient light levels, thus switching on and off the white LED autonomously.

    Power is supplied to the board from the micro:bit that is connected to it via the 0V and 3V pins.

    Features:
  • The LAMP:bit is an accessory for the BBC micro:bit that replicates a street light.
  • It features a built-in phototransistor for autonomous switching.
  • The micro:bit can bolt-on/clip on to the board.
  • Follows the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit.
  • It can be used with the STOP:bit for larger projects.
  • Kitronik have created custom code blocks for the MakeCode Editor that are available as an Extension to the editor.
  • The bottom of the LAMP:bit PCB snaps off to form a stable cross base.

  • Contains:
  • 1 x LAMP:bit for the BBC micro:bit
  • 5 x M3 8mm Countersunk Screws.
  • 5 x M3 Hex Full Nut

  • Dimensions:
  • Height: 135mm.
  • Width: 75mm.
  • Base Width: 42mm.

    The Kitronik Klaw MK2 Robotic Gripper Kit/robot claw is the latest version of the original and popular Kitronik Klaw and is a great addition to any robotics or buggy project.

    It has been carefully redesigned so that it is now also compatible with both the MOVE:mini Mk1 and Mk2. On Mk1 it can be mounted to the boot lid and on the MK2 it can be added to both the boot lid and the base plate. Extra holes were added and a slight change to the part which holds the servo was made to facilitate this.

    It is controlled by a low-voltage servo which is included, this servo is used to open and close the Klaw.

    At the rear of the unit are mounting points allowing it to be bolted to other items, such as buggies or robotic arms. Supply voltage: 3V to 6V. Supplied as a set of parts that require simple assembly, see the resources section below for build instructions.

    Features:
  • Easily add a gripping Klaw to any robotics project.
  • It is compatible with both :MOVE mini Mk1 and MK2.
  • Servo-powered opening and closing with the servo included as a part of the kit.
