Welcome to the world of programming and automation with the BBC micro:bit. The Crazy Circuits Bit Board Kit from Brown Dog Gadgets sets you up with everything you need to start making in minutes!
The Bit Board lets makers combine micro:bit and bricks together to create all sorts of amazing projects. No soldering is required, it brings the ease and joy of crafting to electronics and micro:bit!
Like all Crazy Circuits components, the Bit Board snaps onto any LEGO-compatible component. Connect other Crazy Circuits components with the included Maker Tape. Use a ribbon cable to connect sensors, or plug a servo into the Bit Board. Use the built-in relay to control DC motors and devices.
Thanks to MakeCode support, micro:bit offers a much more visual way of working and programming with microcontrollers. The Bit Board Adapter was designed as a solution for teaching programming via micro:bit’s graphic interface without breadboards and jumper cables. The brick plate becomes the canvas for your electronic projects.
Note: a required micro:bit is not included. You can use an original micro:bit v1 or the micro:bit v2 (or even an Adafruit CLUE) – if it has the same edge connector as a :bit it will plug right in
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
