IoT Starter Kit is an all-in-one bundle for micro:bit beginners to fast experience and build Internet of Things projects. The kit comes with a micro:bit microcontroller...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $149.95 (inc GST) — $136.32 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $129.50 (exc GST) · 12+ $124.05 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 25 and Aug 31.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=KIT0138:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/KIT0138:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

 You can easily setup the Wi-Fi connection in MakeCode Block Editor, program your micro:bit and eventually interact with your smart devices.
 
 To make things even easier and fun. We developed EasyIoT, a free educational IoT platform that allows subscribers to exchange and visualize the data. 
 
 This starter kit is compatible with hundreds of [DFRobot Gravity Series modules](https://www.dfrobot.com/gravity), bringing endless possibilities to your IoT applications.

### FEATURES

 micro:bit with Internet connectivity
 The kit comes with a plug and play Wi-Fi module, [Obloq](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1674.html), that adds Internet connectivity to micro:bit.
 To start Internet connection, simply fill your Wi-Fi name and password into the coding blocks.
 Obloq GitHub page: github.com/DFRobot/pxt-Obloq
