We are proud to be bringing you a huge expansion to our Perspex range now including 5mm thickness Opaque and Fluorescent and new 3mm Transparent colours.
How to Make a Soft Battery Holder (Power Board)
Learn how to make a soft battery holder with a soft, fabric pouch for holding a 3V battery. Select from and use a wider, more complex range of materials, taking into account their properties.
BBC micro:bit Edge Connector Light Level Detector
This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use a Kitronik edge connector breakout with the BBC microbit. The tutorial will cover measuring ambient light levels with an LDR and dimming an LED correspondingly.
BBC micro:bit Cool Colours Temperature Sensor
This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use an analogue input with the BBC micro:bit. The BBC micro:bit is able to read analogue voltages from sensors like Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) and Thermistors. This tutorial uses the analogue read function to change the colour of a tri-colour LED to correspond to the temperature of the thermistor. A thermistor is a special type of resistor that changes its resistance as it gets warmer.
Introducing: Solar Cells – Shining a Light on Solar Energy
This week, we are expanding our Solar cells including new and improved 1.5, 2 and 5V Polycrystalline solar cells. These cells are more efficient in the unpredictable British weather.
