This Kitronik MI:pro Protector Case for the BBC micro:bit has been designed to work with both the original Micro:bit V1and the new Micro:bit V2and continues in the traditions of our earlier cases. The cases are designed to keep the micro:bit safe, fully useable, and to offer the freedom of not being tethered to a computer. The case is available in 4 different colour options. They are; Clear, Blue, Green, and Orange. The colours don't only look great, they can be used to differentiate between different people's cases. Handy! All of the cases are identical in all other regards. If a battery holder is attached to the back it canalso can be stood neatly on a desk and it also features large and easy to read labels for the A and B buttons. This case provides full access to the bottom pins on the BBC micro:bit so the Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC Micro:bitcan be used. One of the key features of the micro:bit is its physical size and this case has been designed with that in mind. It's as compact as we could make it, whilst still offering protection for the micro:bit. The case is also supplied with a sticky fixer pad so that you can attach a battery holderto the rear of the case, such as can be found in our BBC micro:bit Starter Kit. When a battery holder is used, micro:bit projects can go wherever you go. Even with a battery holder attached, the case is still palm-sized and portable.

Perspex colour ref 363 This opaque 3mm Orange Perspex Acrylic Sheet measures 1000mm x 600mm. The surface of the sheet has a high gloss finish. You cannot see through opaque Perspex sheets meaning they can be used in designs/products to provide areas of solid colour. Features: High gloss surface. Very low light transmission. Easily laser cut, drilled and thermoformed. Applications: Opaque Perspex acrylic sheets have many applications such as point of sale, model making, signs, artistic and architectural installation, casings, etc. Working with Perspex acrylic sheets: Perspex is a versatile material that can be cut, drilled, laser cut and thermoformed. Perspex is a thermoplastic which means that when it is heated above 140-180C it becomes flexible. This allows the material to be formed into the required shape or bent. Once the material cools below 85C it becomes rigid again. Perspex sheets are often shaped using a CNC router or laser cutter. The edge of laser cut Perspex has a pleasing polished look. If you look carefully at the edge of a piece of laser cut Perspex you can often see slight vertical lines that are caused by the pulses a laser uses when cutting. If you want to get a perfectly smooth finish on the edge of piece of machined Perspex a polishing technique can be used. Typical polishing techniques include diamond polishing and flame polishing. It also possible to etch the surface of a Perspex sheet using a laser cutter. This can produce some very pleasing visual effects. The Perspex sheets have a protective film on both faces. If you are etching the material then this should be removed from the surface that is to be etched. If you are just laser cutting then this film can be left in place (if you wish) as it does not create any harmful gases when it is laser cut (unlike PVC). Contents: 1 x Orange Perspex Sheet (Opaque) 3mm x 1000mm x 600mm. Perspex colour reference code: 363. Dimensions: Length: 1000mm. Width: 600mm. Thickness: 3mm (nominal). Tolerances: The manufacturing tolerance for the thickness of cast Perspex acrylic sheets are the stated thickness +/-10% plus +/- 0.4mm. This means a 3mm Perspex sheet could be between 2.3mm and 3.7mm in thickness.

The Kitronik Air Quality Board provides a complete air monitoring and reporting solution for the BBC micro:bit.
