Inventor's Kit for micro:bit - SparkFun KIT-15228

Description: Inventor's Kit for micro:bit - SparkFun KIT-15228

A set of electronic componentsfor easy work with the minicomputer.micro:bit. The set, apart from the minicomputer itself, includes accessories that are necessary or greatly facilitate the creation of basicprojectsbased on the minicomputer. Many elements of the set alsofitother minicomputers, so we will not have to buy more sets dedicated to another minicomputer.

BBC micro:bit, a minicomputerbased on a 32-bit processor with an ARM Cortex M0 core.

The idea behind its creation was to popularize issues related to programming and electronics.

2 AdapterSparkFun Breakoutfor connecting micro:bit modules to the contact plate. It has I2C and SPI bus outputs. It facilitates connection of other accessories to the minicomputer. 3 The 830 field contact plateallows connections between the minicomputer and many additional modules or sensors without soldering. 4 Two AAA batteries containerwith a wire ending in a plug matching the JST connector on theboard of the minicomputer. 5 A small servo motorized system that can be rotated through approximately 160°. 6 The easy-to-usetemperature sensorTMP36allows measurements from -40°Cto 125°C. 7 Photoresistorwith resistance from 1kΩ to10kΩ. 8 MicroUSB cable - USB type A.USB is one of the most popular communication interfaces used in electronics. In the case of micro:bit it will be used to program the board from a personal computer. 9 Connecting cablesterminated on both sides with a male connector. 10 Connecting cablesterminated on one side with a male connector and a crocodile connector on the other. 11 RGB LEDwith 3 pins corresponding to each color at once 1 longest pin, which is the cathode. 12 Set of 20 LEDs in 4 different colors (5 pieces of one color each). 13
