Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit

This is not the Python version of the kit. The Python variant can be found here

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.

**BBC micro:bit is NOT included**

No soldering is required and you can build your first circuit in minutes!

Features

• Works with both the micro:bit V1 and micro:bit V2
• No soldering required - build your first circuit in minutes!
• Make 10 experiments included in the provided step-by-step tutorial book.
• All parts are included to conduct the 10 experiments (listed below).
• Breaks out 21 accessible pins from the BBC micro:bit using the Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit (included)
• Small Prototype Breadboard included for fast prototyping.
