    MonkMakes Connector for the BBC micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Monk Makes
    The MonkMakes Connector for micro:bit makes it super-easy to connect I2C, SPI and other devices to your micro:bit without losing the main connector rings. Unlike other connectors that are designed to break-out all the micro:bit pins, this connector just breaks out the useful ones that are not in use by the micro:bit for other purposes. Handy!

    Most importantly, you don't lose access to the micro:bit's normal connector rings for adding all sorts of other components with your projects!

    ElecFreaks Sensor:bit for micro:bit

    EF03415
    Sensor:bit is a breakout board based on micro:bit. It has extended all available IO ports on micro:bit, and lead out them in the form of GVS. With this board, we can extend various 3V electric brick modules like LED light, photocell, etc.. On the board, it has integrated a buzzer and an audio jack, which allows you to hear music from the buzzer or with headphones.

    FEATURES
  • Extend most IO ports on micro:bit by GVS pins.
  • Independently lead out IIC interface. Enable to plug in IIC components like OLED, BME280, etc..
  • Integrated a buzzer and an audio jack.
  • Support interface.
  • Mark out each IO port with silk printing.

    Kitronik 3V Vertical Submersible Water Pump

    KI 25110
    This 3V vertical submersible low power water pump is an ideal solution for creating a small indoor water feature or as part of a plant watering system. At the heart of the pump is a 3V DC motor that runs quietly and only draws approximately 100mA.

    The pump needs priming before use and should be kept fully submerged during use as it will only pump water not air. Also, it only works in one direction as a pump, you cannot reverse the connections and have it move water in the other direction.

    It's 3V, 100mA power requirements are such that you could use a microcontroller with suitable drive capacity to switch it on or off. As the new micro:bit now has 200mA available for powering external devices, this pump can be powered directly by the micro:bit V2.

    The micro:bit can only drive 15mA from its pins, so a transistor or FET is required to control it from the pins, either in an on/off capacity, or, with PWM to vary pumping rate. If using the original micro:bit or if the microbit is already controlling other devices, this pump can also be powered and controlled via a motor driver board, or similar.

    Note: This pump is not supplied with any tubing.

    Features:
  • Vertical type submersible pump.
  • Operating power requirements are; 3V and 100mA.
  • Low noise DC motor.
  • Can be controlled with a simple on/off switch or microcontroller/motor driver board.
  • Ideal for small water features or plant watering systems.
  • A flow rate of 80L/H @ 3V and 100L/H at 4.5V.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x 3V Vertical Submersible Water Pump.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 38.5mm.
  • Width: 23.9mm.
  • Height: 42.6mm.

    Kitronik Thin Speaker 0.25w 8ohm 40mm

    KI 3341
    This is the perfect speaker for projects that produce sound but where space is tight or where the speaker needs to be discreet. These speakers work well with the BBC microbit; you can code the microbit to play music or emit a beep as an alarm and this little speaker will do an admirable job.

    This a 0.25W, 8ohm speaker is only 40mm in diameter and just over 4mm thick making it very similar in size to those found in talking greeting cards, you could even design a microbit talking greeting card that has the built in micro:bit as a present as well as part of the card.

    Features:
  • 8ohm speaker that is ideal for use with the BBC microbit.
  • 4mm thick, making it ideal for use as a discreet speaker.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x 0.25W, 8ohm speaker.

  • Dimensions:
  • Diameter: 40mm.
  • Thickness: 4mm.

  • Requires:
  • Soldering Iron.
  • Solder.

    Kitronik Pre-Built Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit

    KI 5601B
    Looking to do more with your BBC micro:bit? Unlock its potential with this ‘pre-built’ version of the Edge Connector Breakout Board! This breakout board has been designed to offer an easy way to connect additional circuits and hardware to the pins on the edge of the BBC micro:bit. It provides access to all of the BBC micro:bit processor pins allowing a lot of extra functionality to be added. The datasheet (below) includes a helpful diagram explaining the function of every pin on the BBC micro:bit.

    This Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit gives access to all of the important pins on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. 21 pins are broken out in total; providing additional I/O lines, direct access to buttons A and B, the LED matrix outputs and the I2C bus. Please refer to the datasheet below for more details.

    The BBC micro:bit pins are broken out to a row of pin headers. These provide an easy way of connecting circuits using jumper wires. The SCL and SDA pins are separated at the edge of the board (solder pads) providing easy identification. The PCB includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V and unconnected rows that can be soldered to. This allows the easy connection of switches, sensors and any pull-up or pull-down resistors etc. as required.

    To use the breakout board the BBC micro:bit should be inserted firmly into the connector.

    Features:
  • Features a dedicated pin strip for quick and easy prototyping.
  • Breaks out 21 pins from the edge of the BBC micro:bit.
  • Dedicated prototyping area with 3V and 0V rows.
  • Labelled pins and clear straightforward documentation.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit, Pre-built.

  • Possible applications include:
  • Accessing additional pins and functionality on the BBC micro:bit.
  • Trying out one of the experiments detailed in the Inventors kit for BBC micro:bit.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 60mm.
  • Width: 40mm.
  • Height: 11.8mm.
