    Kitronik :VIEW Graphics 128 OLED Display for the BBC micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    Display meaningful output from your micro:bit project with the Kitronik :VIEW Graphics128 OLED display. The Kitronik :VIEW Graphics128 OLED display gives the user the ability to add a monochrome 128x64 display to the BBC micro: bit. The onboard edge connector allows the micro:bit to slot into the board without any additional fixings. The board also features a micro:bit style I/O connector which means it can be slotted into any other micro:bit accessory that has a slot for inserting a micro:bit. All of the pins from the BBC micro:bit are tracked through to provide the edge pads with the full usage of the BBC micro:bit, with the addition of a display. As the micro:bit slots directly into the board, no tools, fixings, or soldering are required.

    Power to the board can be provided via the edge connector or from the micro:bit. The board requires a 3V supply and has no voltage protection on the board. The board features an LED to indicate when the board has power. With every display, pixel turned on the board has a maximum power draw of 40mA. The 128x64 display uses the SSD1306 driver on an I2C interface. At the centre of the board are the breakout pads for the I2C lines, along with two ground pads and a 3V power pad. These pads are on a 2.54mm pitch, which means they will fit either wire or a pin header for jumper cables (not provided). This can be used by those who wish to add more I2C devices and functionality. It is possible to change the default I2C address of the board (see the Selecting Display section of this Datasheet for more details).

    Features:
  • Add a monochrome 128x64 OLED display to the micro:bit.
  • The micro:bit slots into the onboard edge connector.
  • The board features a micro:bit style I/O connector allowing it to be slotted into other micro:bit accessories.
  • It can be coded with MakeCode blocks and with Python.
  • Kitronik has created custom MakeCode blocks.
  • Kitronik has created a GitHub repo for custom Python functions.
  • It can be powered via the edge connector or by the micro:bit.
  • Requires a 3V supply.
  • The board features a power indicator LED.
  • It is possible to change the default I2C address of the board.
  • No tools, fixings, or soldering are required.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 58mm.
  • Width: 52mm.
  • Height: 11.8mm.
  • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm.

    SG micro:bit V2 Project Kit

    SG CSKIT2
    Build up to six projects straight out of the box with this great value SG Education Project Kit for the BBC micro:bit. The perfect way to get started with programming and hardware interaction. No soldering required, all parts are included to build 6 projects.

    Included in the kit are:
  • BBC micro:bit
  • Mini Breadboard
  • Shielded Croc Leads
  • USB to mini USB cable
  • Red-Green-Amber LED's
  • Battery cage
  • AAA batteries included


  • The projects that can be built are: Dice, Theremin, Miniature Steady Hand Game, Fruit Keyboard and Traffic Light.

    Click here to view the comprehensive Project Guide which outlines the 6 experiments that are possible straight out of the box! Please note, this PDF uses the micro:bit V1 board and so a buzzer component is included. The kit now comes with the V2 board which has an inbuilt speaker, the projects no longer need the buzzer and you can use the inbuilt speaker instead.

    Kitronik 'Mini' Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for BBC micro:bit

    KI 56107
    The Mini Prong soil sensor is a short version of the original Prong sensor that has been specially adapted for use with the Kitronik Greenhouse Kit for BBC micro:bit. The Mini Prong soil moisture sensor for BBC microbit is a sensor board that can be connected to a BBC micro:bit with crocodile clips to monitor the moisture present in the soil. The two conductive tines are placed into the soil. Any water or moisture in the soil will conduct to give an analogue voltage that can be read by the BBC micro:bit.

    Mini Prong is powered from the 3V supply of the BBC micro:bit. Use either the USB or JST connector on the BBC micro:bit to power the circuit. The board has been designed to work with croc-clips, to connect between the Mini Prong and the BBC micro:bit. When fitted to the Mini Prong moisture sensor, the micro:bit can be coded via any of the micro:bit editors, such as the Microsoft MakeCode editor. The Datasheet at the foot of this page includes technical information and a MakeCode blocks coding example.

    Note: To ensure that the mini Prong moisture sensor has a long and fulfilling life, it is better to write your code to perform a moisture check every so often rather than continuously. When the check is performed continuously it promotes rapid erosion of the electrodes.

    Features:
  • Measure soil moisture levels.
  • Attach to the micro:bit with crocodile clips.
  • Compatible with both BBC micro:bit V1 and BBC micro:bit V2.
  • Write code for it with any micro:bit coding editor.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 33mm.
  • Height: 43mm.
  • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm.

    Due back in stock early December



    The Prong soil moisture sensor for BBC microbit is a sensor board that can be directly mounted to a BBC micro:bit to monitor the moisture present in the soil. The two conductive tines are placed into the soil. Any water or moisture in the soil will conduct to give an analogue voltage that can be read by the BBC micro:bit.

    Prong is powered from the 3V supply of the BBC micro:bit. Use either the USB or JST connector on the BBC micro:bit to power the circuit. Prong and the BBC micro:bit can also be powered from the Mi:Power board to create a compact stand-alone unit.

    The board has been designed so that the BBC micro:bit can be bolted on using 3 x M3 nuts and 3 x M3 screws. Place the screws through the P1, 3V and GND holes of the PCB and BBC micro:bit, then use the M3 nuts to fasten together on the back of BBC micro:bit. Alternatively, croc-clips can be used to connect between the Prong and the BBC micro:bit.

    If using the Mi:Power board then additionally connecting P0 means the BBC micro:bit can sound an alarm if the soil becomes too dry. When fitted to the Prong moisture sensor, the micro:bit can be coded via any of the micro:bit editors, such as the Microsoft MakeCode editor.

    Note: To ensure that the Prong moisture sensor has a long and fulfilling life, it is better to write your code to perform a moisture check every so often rather than continuously. When the check is performed continuously it promotes rapid erosion of the electrodes.

    Features:
  • Measure soil moisture levels.
  • Attaches directly to the microbit.
  • Use in conjunction with the Mi:Power board to provide power and an audible alarm.
  • Code with any microbit coding editor.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x Prong Soil Moisture Sensor for microbit.
  • 3 x M3 Hex Nuts.
  • 3 x M3 Countersunk Screws.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 68mm.
  • Height: 53mm.
  • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm.

    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.
