Sense the world around you with enviro:bit! It's loaded with sensors for air and weather, colour and light, and sound, and slots right onto your microbit. Just slot in your micro:bit, then code enviro:bit with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, or with MicroPython in the Mu code editor. The sensors go hand-in-hand really well with the LED matrix on micro:bit, letting you graph sensors readings or have the LEDs react to sound, for example. The enviro:bit comes fully assembled and ready to use so there is no soldering required!

Pimoroni have created a set of custom blocks in the Microsoft MakeCode Editor for the enviro:bit. To add them to the editor; select the cog in the top right of the editor, then select 'Extensions' from the drop down menu. Now, type end enter Pimoroni into the search bar and select the envirobit tile. You will now have access to the custom blocks that you can use in your code. Note: The enviro:bit does NOT include a micro:bit board. The micro:bit will need to be purchased separately.

The Clipper allows your Raspberry Pi to connect and communicate via 4G LTE cellular networks, making it an ideal choice for mobile or remote projects.

WiFi is handy, but sometimes you need your connected project to work reliably, no matter where it is. Maybe you're setting up at a festival and can't count on wireless connectivity for your unique LED art installation. Perhaps you’re trying to link tech in your shed to your home automation system, but your router's range falls short. Or maybe you’re deploying sensors to monitor a distant beehive, canal boat, bicycle, or another remotely located object.

Connecting your Raspberry Pi to a cellular/mobile data network could be the answer! Tasks like transmitting sensor data typically use far less data than modern smartphones, making pay-as-you-go plans an efficient and cost-effective option for such projects.
