If you're looking to get flashy, this Light It pack will make your littleBits library shine. It contains five of the brightest output Bits modules, and is the perfect way to add more visual impact to your creations. Like all Expansion Packs, the Light...

Adafruit seesaw is a near-universal converter framework which allows you to add add and extend hardware support to any I2C-capable microcontroller or microcomputer. Instead of getting separate I2C GPIO expanders, ADCs, PWM drivers, etc, seesaw can be...

These LED strips come in 5 meter reels. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 5 meters at a time, you'll get full reels with leads at both ends. If you buy less than 5m, you'll get a single 1-4m strip with or without leads.   1. Light...

This gearmotor is a miniature high-power, 6 V brushed DC motor with a 51.45:1 metal gearbox. It has a cross section of 10 × 12 mm, and the D-shaped gearbox output shaft is 9 mm long and 3 mm in diameter. Key...

Make your micro:bit sing with noise:bit! It's a tiny speaker that packs a fair bit of punch, and it's perfect for BLEEPS and BLOOPS! Just slot in your micro:bit, and use the sound generation blocks and code in Microsoft...

Rainbow HAT has a buffet of sensors, inputs and displays to explore Android ThingsTM. Use it as a weather station, a clock, a timer or stopwatch, a mood light, or endless other things. Pimoroni has worked with the Android Things team at Google to...

MKR ZERO has an on-board SD connector with dedicated SPI interfaces (SPI1) that allows you to play with MUSIC files with no extra hardware! Watch out music makers, Arduino has released two libraries for your enjoyment: Arduino Sound library - a...

This alcohol gas sensor detects the concentration of alcohol gas in the air and ouputs its reading as an analog voltage. The concentration sensing range of 0.04 mg/L to 4 mg/L is suitable for breathalysers (the legal limit of breath alcohol...

This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single "momentary" capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here - just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor. When a capacitive load is...

A transistor that will allow other items to be switched where the micro:bit would not be able to. Items such as motors, larger speakers, relays and so forth, up to 1A total load. A current limiting resistor is in the circuit to protect the micro:bit...

A simple buzzer with transistor that can be powered by the micro:bit. Costs more than a headphone adapter but far less than the mini-speaker - its best use is to act as an sounder for an alarm or similar.

A small version of the PIR that is used in a typical burglar alarm. It triggers when a warm body passes in front of the detector. It has some range / sensitivity setting capability and the duration of the output can be set. The black lead goes on to...

A small microphone with amplifier & threshold setting. It can detect when sound reaches a certain level. It can not detect a particular frequency and there is no support in the micro:bit programming environment at present for it to analyse...

A type of buzzer - it has to be driven by a pulsed output. It's tuned for around 2kHz when it will be at its loudest but will produce a tone across a wide range of frequencies. In the Block Editor, the black lead goes on to GND and the blue lead goes on...

Good for detecting boxes, drawers or doors being opened and much more. The black lead goes on GND, the red lead goes on 3v and the other lead goes on 0, 1, or 2. This item is somewhat polarity sensitive, the red & black leads need...

A very accurate temperature sensor using a calibrated chip called a TMP36GZ. It is accurate to ±1°C at +25°C. At this temperature it outputs 750mV. It changes by 10mV per °C. The black lead goes on GND, the red lead...

An external light sensor for all your light sensing needs. The black lead goes on GND, the red lead goes on 3v and the other lead goes on 0, 1, or 2.This item is polarity sensitive, the red & black leads need to be on the correct...

This Pushbutton makes it easy to add an extra input to your BBC micro:bit projects. With simple clip leads and no soldering required, it’s perfect for classrooms, workshops, and quick prototyping. Features Simple connectivity — attach...

Provides a variable voltage to an analog input via a twist knob - a volume control if you will. Can be used for any application where a user input across an analog range is required - for instance changing the frequency of the music output or the speed...
