# Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE04828 · **Brand:** [Kitronik](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/kitronik-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/kitronik-inventor-s-kit-for-the-bbc-micro-bit.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/kitronik-inventor-s-kit-for-the-bbc-micro-bit.html.md))

The micro:bit already contains a bunch of great sensors, but if you want to unleash the full potential of your micro:bit, then Kitroniks Inventor's Kit is for you. It contains a fantastic selection of components, curated to provide the most rewarding learning experience.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $51.50 (inc GST) — $46.82 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $45.88 (exc GST) · 20+ $45.42 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 9 today, and up to 300 more in 8–10 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE04828:1` (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/CE04828:1.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)

## Description

*This is not the Python version of the kit. [The Python variant can be found here](https://core-electronics.com.au/kitronik-inventors-kit-for-the-bbc-micro-bit-python-version.html)*

The micro:bit already contains a bunch of great sensors, but if you want to unleash the full potential of your micro:bit, then Kitroniks Inventor's Kit is for you. It contains a fantastic selection of components, curated to provide the most rewarding learning experience.

No electronics experience is required as the Kitronics project book walks you through using motors, switches, potentiometers, LEDs, and more! Everything is made accessible via the edge connector which breaks out the micro:bit pins into a breadboard friendly format, ready for making.
