    MonkMakes Relay for Micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Monk Makes
    The MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit is a solidstate (no moving parts) relay that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things on and off. This relay can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the relay will automatically protect itself against too much current. Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.

    Description

    The MonkMakes Relay for the BBC microbit is a solid-state (no moving parts) relay that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things on and off.

    A micro:bit can turn an LED on and off directly, but anything more powerful requires something like a relay or a transistor. Using a transistor to switch something on and off requires a shared ground connection with the micro:bit and a knowledge of electronics that you or your students may not be ready for. The MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit is much easier to use, acting like a simple micro:bit controlled switch.

    This relay can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the relay will automatically protect itself against too much current.
