Dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor

2MB onboard flash memory

Integrated 2.4GHz wireless support

Pre-soldered headers for plug-and-play use

USB connection for power and programming

26 multi-function GPIO pins including I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, and ADC

Compact size ideal for breadboard use

Works with multiple programming environments

The solderless TT motor adapter board is probably the best way of adding a TT motor to a project. Hands up if you've ever partially melted a motor or destroyed a lug whilst trying to solder wires to one? /raises hand... Not anymore! Not only is it easy to fit, it will extend the working life of your motors, especially in an educational environment. Re-use the motors over and over again. You won't even need to remove the TT motor adapter board between builds.

To fit; bend the motors lugs out approx 45 degrees from flat, place the board against the motor lining up the motors holes with the holes on the PCB, screw the two together. You can now connect to the board to your project with crocodile leads and you are good to go! Alternatively, if you want to use jumper cables instead of crocodile clips; choose one of three connection holes that is right for your project and fit some pins headers to the board. You will need the soldering iron for this one, but soldering to the PCB is a much more appealing proposition than soldering to the lugs on the motors. All the fun of soldering without the smell of burning plastic!

If you combine these solderless boards with our motor driver board for the BBC microbit, also solderless, you can build yourself a working programmable buggy/robot without a soldering iron! Just add a chassis, such as a flat piece of wood, cardboard or perspex, sticky pad everything to it and job done! This activity could also easily be done completely safely with younger children in primary education.

Features:

Add motors to your project without using a soldering iron.

Simple to fit and use.

Makes your budget go further by allowing you to reuse motors time and time again.

Suitable to use with older primary children.

Connect to the board using crocodile clips.

Alternatively, you can fit pin headers to the board and use jumper cables (soldering required).

Bring your imagination to life. Simple and uncluttered control of up to 3 servos with the Kitronik :CREATE Simple Servo Control Board for BBC micro:bit. The Simple Servo Control Board offers a simple interface between the BBC micro:bit and up to 3 servos. The board features an edge connector for the micro:bit to slot into and in addition to the servo pin header connections, there are also 6 croc-clippable pads for adding additional devices.

The servo pin header connections are on a 0.1 inch (2.54mm) pitch and are labelled on the board as; Power, Ground and Signal. The 6 croc-clippable pads, at the bottom of the board, break out the P0, P1, P2 pins from the micro:bit. There are also pads for 3.3V and GND, with the final pad (Switch A) which allows for connecting an external switch.

The board is powered from 3x AA batteries (with attached battery cage) which powers the servo’s and is regulated to the required voltage to power a BBC micro:bit. The board includes a power switch to turn the servo’s and BBC micro:bit on or off. The power LED at the top of the board indicates when the board is active. The simple servo control board has mounting lugs on either side. They have been designed for use with elastic bands so that the board can be connected to your project without the need for tools.

Code it with MakeCode: Kitronik has created custom blocks for the Simple Servo board for use with MakeCode. To add these blocks, first go to MakeCode. and start a new project. Under the “Advanced” section click on “Extensions”. In the next window search for “Simple Servo”. Once the icon appears, click on the icon to import it into MakeCode.
Code it with MicroPython: Kitronik has created example code for initialising and controlling the servos for the Simple Servo Board. The class code can be found at the GitHub page. For more information, please see the Datasheet below

Micro:bit breakout board is a kind of breakout board for micro:bit. It can lead out GPIO port, serial port, IIC port, and SPI port on the micro:bit board. The biggest feature of Octopus:bit is that it can switch electric levels for some GPIO ports, which makes micro:bit available to be adapted to 5V sensors.

FEATURES

Input voltage: 3.3V（powered by the edge connector of micro:bit）

Extend all the GPIO ports(P0~P16, P19~P20).

Beneath each I/O port, there are pins for VCC and GND. These pins are differentiated by different colors, which enable you to connect your extension module easily. The spread of pins is fully compatible with the Octopus series products.

With a voltage boosting module, you can shift the working voltage of P8, P9, and P11~P16 between 3.3V and 5V through the voltage switch.

Lead out the serial port, I2C port, and SPI port, among which I2C can connect 3 channels of I2C devices and SPI can connect 2 channels of SPI devices.

Available for direct serial port communication between two breakout boards.

APPLICATION It is suitable for all conditions that require micro:bit GPIO such as programming education, smart device creation, and so on.
