    Kitronik ZIP LED Stick

    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    Each of Kitronik's new ZIP sticks has 5 individually addressable RGB LED’s. Each LED can be controlled independently and all LEDs are connected using the same three wire bus. Each LED can produce a full spectrum of colours independent to all of the other LEDs on the bus. Each ZIP LED has a Red, Green and Blue element within the LED, and each of these can achieve 256 levels of brightness. This results in 16,777,216 possible output colours. Multiple ZIP LEDs can be connected to produce longer strings/strips.

    The LEDs used are based on the WS2812B part which is compatible with any WS2812B driver code. They can also be coded in the MakeCode Block/Javascript editor.

    Features:
  • Simple 3 wire connection for all LEDs.
  • Compatible with Adafruit NeoPixel and other WS2812B driver code.
  • Integrated reset circuit.
  • Supply voltage: 3.5V to 5V.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 34.3mm.
  • Width: 10.2mm.
  • Height: 3.2mm.
  • Hole Diameter: 2.2mm.

    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.

    USB Power Lead with Pre Tinned Wires

    KI 4101
    This 1-metre USB power lead allows you to draw 5V power directly from a PC or USB power supply. It features pre-tinned red and black wires for easy connection to your circuit or project. The USB standard supports up to 100mA per connected device, making this lead suitable for powering LEDs or basic electronic circuits. It can also be used with a 5V 500mA mains power supply, making it ideal for powering static setups located near a wall socket.

    Key Features:
  • Provides 5V power from a USB port for your electronics projects
  • Pre-tinned, colour-coded wires (red and black) for easy connection
  • Compatible with 5V 500mA mains adapters for fixed installations

    Kitronik Compact all in one Robotics Board for the BBC micro:bit

    KI 5693
    With the Kitronik Compact Robotics Board, the BBC micro:bit can be used to drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos. Coupled with 17 other I/O expansion points, this means the BBC micro:bit can very easily become the core of a whole variety of robotics projects. The board is small on footprint but big on features and connectivity. Please note, when used with a stepper motor, half-stepping is supported - but not micro-stepping.

    The Robotics Board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs (capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each) and 8 servo outputs (capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos), all controlled from the BBC micro:bit using the I2C protocol via a 16 channel driver IC. Kitronik's custom MakeCode blocks make using I2C easy, even for novice users.

    The Link header breaks out all the usable pins from the BBC micro:bit, and is designed to allow 2.54mm pitch pin header to be easily soldered into place. The 17 available I/O pins allow other input devices, for example, sensors, or output devices, such as ZIP LEDs, to be added to the board. The I2C communication lines are also broken out (Pins 19 & 20), which means other I2C compatible devices can also be added to the board and controlled by the BBC micro:bit.

    Power is provided via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on/off power switch to the board. There is also a green LED to indicate when the board is turned on. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit. This removes the need to power the BBC micro:bit separately. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, which means external devices can also be powered.

    To use the compact robotics board, the BBC micro:bit should be inserted firmly into the edge connector, with the LEDs and buttons visible from the front.

    Kitronik has produced a set of custom blocks for the MakeCode editor to simplify using the Compact Robotics Board for BBC micro:bit. 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 Kitronik robotics Board from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor.

    Features:
  • A compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your robotics project.
  • It can drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos.
  • The board also has 17 other I/O expansion points.
  • The link header is designed to allow 2.54mm pitch pin header to be used.
  • The I2C communication lines are also broken out allowing other I2C compatible devices to be controlled.
  • This board also features an on/off switch and power status LED.
  • Power the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector.
  • The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, allowing external devices to be powered.
  • Code with the Microsoft MakeCode editor with custom blocks by Kitronik or with Python.
  • When used with a stepper motor, half-stepping is supported - but not micro-stepping.
