    MonkMakes Sensor Board for the BBC micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Monk Makes
    The MonkMakes Sensor Board allows you to detect sound levels, temperature and light levels. It features ring pad connectors for use with crocodile clips make it easy to connect to the board to a microbit.

    Sound Level: It senses sound level with a MEMs, which is a microphone on a chip that also features a pre-amplifier circuit. You can then use the plot bar graph block in the Microsoft MakeCode editor to display the result on the microbits LED matrix.

    Temperature Level: The temperature output from the board is a voltage that indicates the temperature. This is then measured using an analog input on the micro:bit. If you want your temperatures in Fahrenheit, then multiply the temperature in degrees C by 9, divide the result by 5 and then add 32.

    Light Level: The light sensor uses a photo-transistor to measure the light level and produces an output voltage that increases as the light level increases.

    Features:
  • 3V and GND connections can be made from either side and allow you to power a second board such as the MonkMakes Relay Board or MonkMakes Speaker.
  • LED ‘power on’ indicator.
  • Reverse polarity protection.
  • All three sensors are analog and can be connected to pins P0, P1 and P2 using alligator clips.
  • Detects sound level with a MEMs (microphone on a chip) and a pre-amplifier.
  • Uses a thermistor to measure temperature.
  • Light level detection with a photo-transistor (0 to 1023).
  • All three sensors are analog and can be connected to pins P0, P1 and P2 using alligator clips.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 63.2mm.
  • Width: 55.7mm.
  • Thickness: 1.6mm.

    ElecFreaks Alligator Cables

    EF10130
    Alligator clips (or Crocodile clips, if you prefer) are likely to be the most useful thing on your workbench besides the workbench itself. Whether you're just trying to make a few quick connections to test your circuit or having trouble making your multimeter leads stay where you need them, these spring-loaded clips are a workshop must-have.

    Each lead in this pack of 3 is 35cm long with a rubber shrouded alligator clip in 45mm length and 8.3mm opening on each end. There are three different colours, you get each of: red, black and yellow.

    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.

    Alligator Clip with Pigtail 4 Pack

    KI 2480
    This is a 4 pack of wires that are pre-terminated with an alligator (crocodile) clip on one end and a hookup pigtail (male jumper connector) on the other. Alligator clips are a staple part for any workbench and with these cables you will be able to easily incorporate those clips into a breadboard, development platform, or anything else that you would normally be able to attach a male jumper connector to.

    Each Alligator Clip with Pigtail cable has a wire length of 30cm (that’s a little less than 1ft) and a male pin that easily inserts into a standard 0.1" connector. Each pack consists of two red cables and two black cables.

    These connector wires can also be used to connect a BBC microbit to a prototyping board as an alternative to an edge connector.

    Features:
  • Wires with a croc clip on one end and a male jumper cable connector (pigtail) on the other.
  • Enables you to connect a BBC microbit to a prototyping board as an alternative to using an edge connector.

  • Contents:
  • 2 x Red alligator to male jumper connector leads.
  • 2 x Black alligator to male jumper connector leads.

  • Dimensions:
  • Length: 30cm.
