    Kitronik KLEF Piano for Microbit

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    Compose a monophonic microbit musical masterpiece with the Kitronik :KLEF Piano for the BBC micro:bit. It features 15 capacitive touch pads, with 13 arranged as a single octave and 2 up down function buttons that can allow you to shift octaves.

    :KLEF also features; an onboard amplifier circuit for extra 'more', an onboard speaker, and an onboard edge connector that the micro:bit slots into.

    To use the Piano, the BBC micro:bit should be inserted firmly into the edge connector, either way around. If the Link Header is being used, the BBC micro:bit LED display should be facing the Piano keys. Kitronik has produced a MakeCode getting started guide which you can follow here.

    Power is provided via a 5V micro USB connector. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit, removing the need to power the BBC micro:bit separately. This also powers the capacitive touch sensor IC and audio amplifier.

    The potential uses for the :KLEF Piano for the BBC micro:bit doesn't have to be just musical in nature. You can use the piano keys to transmit from the micro:bit attached to the board to other micro:bits over radio. And if that other microbit happened to be inserted into a :MOVE mini... Piano remote control! You can even take control of the :MOVE minis ZIP LEDs!

    In-Line Geared TT Hobby Motor

    KI 2547
    This 90RPM in-line geared TT hobby motor is a great cost-effective solution for adding some movement to your buggy/robot builds. It can be used with our matching wheels and with our motor driver boards, such as our Motor Driver Board for Raspberry Pi Pico and the Compact Motor Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit, to name just two. Note: when using a microcontroller, do not drive these motors directly with the microcontroller, always use them in conjunction with a motor driver board.

    Despite their low price point, these brightly coloured 120:1 motors are quite durable and are likely to last through multiple builds with ease.

    Although there is a gearbox between the motor and the shaft, there are no rotary encoders. When connected to an appropriate motor driver, like the two listed above, you get forwards/backwards/stop. Simple yet effective. With 2 motors connected to a motor driver, you can also have directional control by turning off one motor and not the other. As is sometimes the case with servos and motors, there can be some small RPM differences between motors which can be overcome when coding, a little trial end error and the odd pause is usually all it takes.

    These hobby motors have an operating voltage of between 3V and 6V, with 4.5V being nominal. This makes them suitable for powering with batteries. At 4.5V, they have a speed of 90RPM no-load and 72RPM at load. Torque at the nominal 4.5V is 0.3Kg/cm and they have a stall torque rating of 1.4Kg/cm. See Datasheet for more information.

    Note:When using a microcontroller, do not attempt to drive these motors directly with the microcontroller, always use them in conjunction with a motor driver board.

    Features:
  • A cost-effective movement solution for your buggy/robot builds.
  • Use in conjunction with a microcontroller, motor driver board, and wheels.
  • A simple yet durable design with a ratio of 120:1.
  • They are rated for an operating voltage of between 3V and 6v, with 4.5V being nominal.
  • They can be powered with batteries.
  • At 4.5V, they have a speed of 90RPM no-load and 72RPM at load.
  • Torque at the nominal 4.5V is 0.3Kg/cm and they have a stall torque rating of 1.4Kg/cm
