INTRODUCTION
Boson Starter Kit for micro:bit is currently in the status of pre-order and will be shipped in the end of October.
micro:bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller designed for kids and beginners to learn coding and electronics, letting them easily bring ideas into DIY digital games, interactive projects and robotics.
Micro:bit
To explore even more possibilities with micro:bit, we have now combined it with DFRobot’s Boson modules, a set of modularized electronic blocks, suitable for every kids to start their hands-on journeys of creation.
DFRobot’s Boson starter kit for micro:bit includes 8 well selected modules, covering most popular digital and analog sensors and actuators, supporting sound, light and motion interaction. Modules communicates to micro: bit via 3-Pin interface and are perfectly compatible with Microsoft MakeCode JavaScript online Editor and Python Editor.
The micro:bit expansion board for Boson is used to hoop up Boson modules to micro:bit. The expansion board comes with an edge connector, 6 fool-proof 3-Pin sockets, a 3.5MM headphone jack and a volume knob. Moreover, to ensure a steady current supply for motor and servo, the expansion board can be powered externally through the USB power port.
Note: USB power port CANNOT be used to upload program.
To help you easily understand the usage of each module, the kit is provided with a quick start guide, including 4 basic projects with wiring and sample codes. Walk through the guide and create your own invention!
Note: micro:bit is NOT included in the kit. You will need to purchase separately.
