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/EF08416:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) (sold separately) and either the [Sensor:bit IO extension board](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE07548) 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: 1. Mount your micro:bit onto the extension board 2. Connect the desired sensors using the provided cables 3. Power the system using either USB or battery power (we recommend the [2xAA Battery Holder with JST-PH connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-battery-holder-2xaa-jst-ph.html)) 4. Upload your code and start experimenting ## What's in the Box - Water pump module - Relay module - Ultrasonic sensor - Light sensor - Water level sensor - MQ2 smoke sensor - Servo motor - Temperature and humidity sensor - Fan module - Collision sensor - Connection cables ## Compatibility This kit is designed to work with all versions of the BBC micro:bit, including the latest V2.2 board. For optimal performance, pair with the following recommended components: - [DFRobot micro:bit Expansion Board for Boson](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-expansion-board-for-boson-gravity-compatible.html) - [ELECFREAKS Sensor:bit IO extension board](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/CE07548) - [micro:bit Wireless Gamepad](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-wireless-gamepad.html) for remote control applications ## Additional Resources - Detailed documentation for sensor integration - Example code for basic sensor operations - Project tutorials for smart home applications - Online support through ELECFREAKS community ## About ELECFREAKS ELECFREAKS is a leading provider of educational technology solutions, specialising in micro:bit accessories and STEM learning tools.
