In this tutorial you will find Experiment 11 Making a Pedestrian Crossing for the Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit. This is an additional experiment to the ten that were included with the Inventors Kit, and has been created for you to get more from your kit. You will learn how to build the circuit and how to code the BBC microbit to control the circuit.

This resource consists of a selection of links to the additional resources that we have created to accompany each of the experiments. Each experiment has a walk-through video that also contains hints and tips designed to help you complete the experiment and to understand how the circuits work, we have also included links to additional code examples.

In this tutorial we are going to look at how to control a servo using the BBC micro:bit via an Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit. It’s super simple to set up and requires very few parts.

Add light sensing to functionality to the BBC micro:bit is incredibly easy if you use the Light Sensing board from our Electro-Fashion range. Learn how to add light sensing to the BBC micro:bit with this very simple tutorial.

In this tutorial you will find Experiment 7 Wind Power from the Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit. We've included the entire experiment as a free example of the great practical experiments that are contained within the Inventors Kit. Learn how to build the circuit and how to code the BBC micro:bit to control the circuit.

In this tutorial you will find Experiment 2 Using an LDR & Analog Inputs from the Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit. We've included the entire experiment as a free example of the great practical experiments that are contained within the Inventors Kit. Learn how to build the circuit and how to code the micro:bit to control the circuit.

In this tutorial you will find Experiment 4 Using a Transistor to drive a Motor from the Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit. We've included the entire experiment as a free example of the great practical experiments that are contained within the Inventors Kit. Learn how to build the circuit and how to code the BBC micro:bit to control the circuit.

This is a step by step guide to building the BBC micro:bit Line Following Buggy. The buggy uses two light dependant resistors to control a line following board on the bottom of the chassis to 'follow' black lines.

This is a step by step guide to customising a toy crane to be controlled with a BBC micro:bit, using the Motor Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit and the built-in accelerometer to detect tilt and turn motions.

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.

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.

This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use the output pins on the micro:bit and use the built in accelerometer to control a buzzer when the micro:bit is moved.
