This add-on pack to Kitronik's Inventor's Kit for the BBC microbit is the perfect way to discover the wonderful world of ZIP LEDs. These LEDs are simple to control and can be used to produce a range of fantastic colors. ZIP LEDs are independently controllable RGB LEDs and all LEDs are connected using the same three-wire bus. Each LED can produce a full spectrum of colors independently of the other LEDs on the same bus.
Made in UK / Kit to be associated with a micro:bit BBC card sold separately.
Most consumer electronics devices rely heavily on LEDs as they are an excellent way to provide instant visual feedback to the user.
With this add-on package, you will learn how to write code to take control of ZIP LEDs and also how to make ZIP LEDs react to inputs of components such as potentiometers and sensors. Ten experiments, nine in the booklet and one online, will help you develop the skills to add visual feedback to your projects.

Les LED ZIP sont basées sur la partie WS2812B et sont souvent appelées NeoPixel's (qui est une marque déposée d'Adafruit) et sont compatibles avec le NeoPixel d'Adafruit et d'autres codes de conducteur WS2812B. Elles peuvent être codées pour le microbit dans les blocs MakeCode et MicroPython.
ZIP LEDs are based on the WS2812B part and are often called NeoPixel's (which is a registered trademark of Adafruit) and are compatible with Adafruit's NeoPixel and other WS2812B driver codes. They can be coded for microbit in the MakeCode and MicroPython blocks.
