    Kitronik LAMP:bit Street Light for Micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    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.

    Kitronik Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for Microbit

    KI 5647
    The Prong soil moisture sensor for BBC microbit is a sensor board that can be directly mounted to a BBC micro:bit to monitor the moisture present in the soil. The two conductive tines are placed into the soil. Any water or moisture in the soil will conduct to give an analogue voltage that can be read by the BBC micro:bit.

    Prong is powered from the 3V supply of the BBC micro:bit. Use either the USB or JST connector on the BBC micro:bit to power the circuit. Prong and the BBC micro:bit can also be powered from the Mi:Power board to create a compact stand-alone unit.

    The board has been designed so that the BBC micro:bit can be bolted on using 3 x M3 nuts and 3 x M3 screws. Place the screws through the P1, 3V and GND holes of the PCB and BBC micro:bit, then use the M3 nuts to fasten together on the back of BBC micro:bit. Alternatively, croc-clips can be used to connect between the Prong and the BBC micro:bit.

    If using the Mi:Power board then additionally connecting P0 means the BBC micro:bit can sound an alarm if the soil becomes too dry. When fitted to the Prong moisture sensor, the micro:bit can be coded via any of the micro:bit editors, such as the Microsoft MakeCode editor.

    Note: To ensure that the Prong moisture sensor has a long and fulfilling life, it is better to write your code to perform a moisture check every so often rather than continuously. When the check is performed continuously it promotes rapid erosion of the electrodes.

    Features:
  • Measure soil moisture levels.
  • Attaches directly to the microbit.
  • Use in conjunction with the Mi:Power board to provide power and an audible alarm.
  • Code with any microbit coding editor.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for microbit.
  • 3 x M3 Hex Nuts.
  • 3 x M3 Countersunk Screws.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 68mm.
  • Height: 53mm.
  • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm.
