BBC micro:bit Inventor Kit Python version

BBC Micro Bit Inventor Kit Python version

The Kitronik Inventor's Kit - Python version for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to start programming and interacting with the BBC micro:bit hardware. This inventor's kit includes everything you need to perform ten experiments, which include the use of LEDs, motors, photoresistors and capacitors. To help you get started, this kit includes an easy-to-follow training book that guides you through everything you need to know about programming the BBC micro:bit. You don't need any programming knowledge as the training book will guide you through every step of the process. In no time you will be programming and building circuits!

The lesson provides step-by-step instructions for all ten experiments. Experiments 1-6 are written in MakeCode Blocks, while experiments 7-10 are written in the MakeCode Python editor. The Python instruction booklet has been prepared specifically for this edition and will guide the user through the process of building the code and circuits. Experiments 7 to 10 in the original Inventor's Kit were written in JavaScript.

The Kitronik Inventor's Kit - Python version for the BBC micro:bit is an excellent tool for learning how to build and operate electrical circuits. The BBC micro:bit has a number of pins located on the bottom edge of its PCB. It is easy to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit by using our specially developed edge connection board for the BBC micro:bit in combination with the breadboard.

This kit is available as an individual package or as a class package of 20 pieces. Please contact us.

BBC Micro Bit Python Inventor Kit: notes and features

Notes :

• This kit requires assembly.
• The kit comes with a booklet containing detailed instructions and diagrams for the 10 experiments.
• Complete the experiments with the MakeCode editor: Experiments 1 - 6 with MakeCode Blocks / Experiments 7 - 10 with MakeCode Python.
• No soldering is required and you can build your first circuit in minutes!
• This kit does not include a BBC microbit.
• If you purchase a microbit separately, you may also need to purchase a battery cage and USB cable, depending on the microbit option you purchase.
• This kit is available individually or in packs of 20.

Features :

• No soldering required - build your first circuit in minutes!
• Perform 10 experiments included in the step-by-step tutorial book.

As you progress, move from blocks to Python, all in the MakeCode environment: 

• Experiments 1 - 6 focus on blocks
• Experiments 7 - 10 are now done with Python.
• All parts are included to perform the 10 experiments (listed below).
• Break down the 21 accessible pins of the BBC micro:bit using the Edge connection board for the BBC micro:bit (included).
• Small prototyping breadboard included for rapid prototyping.
