Transform your micro:bit projects into sophisticated smart home automation systems with the ELECFREAKS micro:bit Smart Life Kit. This comprehensive sensor kit integrates essential monitoring capabilities with automated control features, enabling advanced STEM learning through hands-on experimentation with real-world applications.

Key Features

Multi-sensor integration including water level, light, smoke (MQ2), temperature, and humidity monitoring
Automated control through servo motors and relay modules for dynamic system responses
Fan module for environmental control applications
Collision detection for security and safety implementations
Ultrasonic sensing for distance measurement and motion detection
Integrated water pump for irrigation and liquid control systems

How to Use

Getting started with the Smart Life Kit requires a BBC micro:bit V2 (sold separately) and either the Sensor:bit IO extension board or similar breakout board. Connect your sensors to the extension board following the pinout diagrams provided in the documentation. Program your micro:bit using MakeCode or Python to read sensor data and control the actuators.

Basic Setup Steps:

Mount your micro:bit onto the extension board
Connect the desired sensors using the provided cables
Power the system using either USB or battery power (we recommend the 2xAA Battery Holder with JST-PH connector)
Upload your code and start experimenting
