Kitronik Quartz Clock Movement

Small hand is 8cm, long hand is 11cm, second-hand is 12cm. Clock box is 5.5 x 5.5 x 1.5cm.

You can easily mount the clockwork on a decorative plate, but the screw shaft determines how thick a plate you can mount it on. The screw shaft requires that the plate has a hole of 8 mm diameter, which you can make using a drill. Place the black ring and the selected plate on top of the clockwork so that the screw shaft protrudes through to the front of the plate. Then add the metal ring and nut and screw them to the top of the plate. Finally, fasten the hands onto the clock one by one and insert an AA battery into the clock.

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 Alarm Clock Kit Features:

Learn how to create & then code exciting projects that explore time, light & sound.

The kit is backed up by a range of fun tutorials that introduce you to the exciting features of the Alarm Clock Kit.

All of the tutorials and resources are free.

No soldering required and mechanical assembly is super simple.

The board features CR1220 3V coin cell battery holder that acts as a clock battery backup for the RTC chip when a battery is inserted.

The backup battery can last for up to 2 years. Experiences may vary from battery to battery and also from situation to situation.

ZIP Halo HD for microbit Features:

The board features 60 individually addressable full-colour ZIP LEDs.

P1 and P2 are broken out to a standard 0.1” footprint.

It includes a MEMS microphone and a piezo buzzer.

It has an onboard Real-time clock (RTC)).

The On/off switch helps you maximise battery life, CR1220 3V coin cell will then protect the RTCs memory.

Code it with MakeCode using Kitronik custom blocks.

It can also be coded with MicroPython.
