    Kitronik Clippable Detector Board

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    The Clippable Detector board for the BBC micro:bit detects light, objects and can follow lines. The board is compatible directly with the BBC micro:bit and certain Kitronik boards, such as the Klip Motor Board.

    The board works by using phototransistors to detect the reflectiveness of different surfaces. The Clippable Detector board has 3 phototransistor sensors evenly spaced out from each other. The sensors provide an analogue voltage to the BBC microbit. Five connections are required for full operation. These connections match those on a BBC micro:bit and can be attached using either bolts or croc-clip leads.

    Kitronik have produced a set of custom MakeCode blocks for the Clippable Detector board. To add them to the editor, select the cog icon in the top right of the editor. Then, select Extensions from the drop down menu and in the search bar type and enter Kitronik. Pick the tile from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor. It is also possible to use MicroPython to write code for this board.

    Features:
  • Use the board to detect light, objects or to follow lines.
  • The board is fitted with 3 phototransistors that detect the reflectiveness of different surfaces.
  • Connect the board directly to the micro:bit or connect using croc-clip leads.
  • Kitronik created custom MakeCode blocks to make the job of coding as easy as possible.

    ElecFreaks micro:bit Experiment Box

    EF08200
    The Experiment Box is a versatile learning kit designed to introduce students to practical electronics and physics through micro:bit-controlled experiments. Inspired by traditional lab setups, this compact kit allows learners to build and control real-world circuits while developing coding and analytical skills.

    Note: BBC micro:bit is not included

    Key Features:

  • All-in-One Storage: Components are neatly packed in a portable box to prevent loss and keep everything organised.
  • Banana Plug Connections: Includes standard banana plug wires and sockets—ideal for connecting to power supplies, testing signals, using multimeters, or prototyping circuits.
  • User-Friendly Setup: Banana plugs offer a reliable, easy-to-use method for assembling and adjusting circuits, helping learners gain confidence in building electronic systems.
  • Foundations for Future Learning: The use of professional-style connectors provides a great stepping stone for more advanced circuit design and testing.


  • This kit is perfect for classroom labs or home-based learners looking to explore physics, circuitry, and microcontroller programming in an engaging, hands-on way.

    Kitronik STOP:bit Traffic Light for the BBC micro:bit

    KI 5642
    The STOP:bit for the BBC micro:bit is the ultimate upgrade for traffic light/pedestrian crossing projects. Not only does it make coding the project a breeze, but the board is also supplied pre-assembled so you don't even need to fire up the soldering iron. Love it or hate it, variations of the pedestrian crossing project have been around for decades. When I did mine, it was on a 6502 EMMA board and coded with Assembly and it also included a level crossing. Thankfully, tapping low-level programming languages into a hexadecimal keypad is now a thing of the past. The Kitronik STOP:bit is a purpose-built accessory that can only lead to a more enjoyable project with a nicer looking end result.
