Summary
    A Micro:bit is not included in this kit. If you need one, we recommend the micro:bit v2.

    Get started coding high-tech sensors and modules with the PiicoDev® Starter Kit v1.2 for Micro:bit. Follow the guides to complete exciting experiments and projects, then remix the examples to create something entirely new. Work with light, colour, sound, motion, weather, touch, distance and a graphical display.

    After following the guides you'll be well acquainted with each module - but this is just the start! Multiple PiicoDev modules can be daisy-chained to create larger, more complex projects. Try combining different input and output modules by remixing example code from the guides. There are so many possible combinations!

    • A PiicoDev Adapter / Expansion Board to suit your chosen dev-board.
    • OLED Module - a 128x64 pixel display to show text and graphics
    • 3x RGB LED Module - create dazzling patterns with three super bright tri-colour LEDs.
    • Atmospheric Sensor - measure atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature to create your own weather station.
    • Buzzer Module - play tones and melodies. Give your project an audible alarm.
    • Colour Sensor - sample emitted or reflected light and classify objects based on their colour.
    • Capacitive Touch Sensor - add touch control to your project with three touch-pad inputs.
    • Accelerometer - measure tilt-angle, linear acceleration. Detect tapping and shaking.
    • Distance Sensor - a laser range finder with incredible precision.
    • Assorted PiicoDev Cables - 4x50mm, 2x100mm, 2x200mm
    • PiicoDev Platform - Build your project onto a sturdy platform. Suits your chosen dev-board.

    PiicoDev Overview

    PiicoDev is a ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes:

    Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:

    • Unified MicroPython libraries. The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
    • Simple-and-expandable connections. Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
    • Breakout pins. Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
    • Consistent size. We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
    • Creative freedom. Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.

    PiicoDev electronics modules are designed and manufactured in Newcastle. They are priced for makers and education alike (affordable!). Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
