## 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
