Product description: micro:bit Grove Inventor Kit - inventor's kit for children (modules + micro:bit + FORBOT course + book)
Micro:bitGrove Inventorkit forschoolchildren. It contains a miniatureBBC micro:bitcomputer for learning electronics and programming, a book which is apaper version ofthe online micro:bit course fromFORBOTand many important elements that allow you to fully enjoy the possibilities of micro:bit.
|
The setincludesthe BBC micro:bit and the course in the form of a colour book. |
Micro:bit Grove Inventor Kit - inventor's kit for children.
Shield Grove - Overlay for connecting Grove sensors.
Additionally, the set includes a brochurecontaining 12 sample designs.They are designed to familiarize with the necessary modules of the Grove series in practice. Children can create electronic measuring devices, intelligent RGB lighting and a simple alarm. One of the most important elements of the set isShield Grove, which isa module extending the capabilities of the BBC micro:bit. The use of the extension board makes it very easy to use the connectors available on the BBC micro:bit.
The course in the paper version is primarily a more accessible form and a lot of additional content, which you will not find in the Internet version.
The set was created thanks tocooperation between SeeedStudio and FORBOT.pl- a service known for publishing numerous educational materials (includingcourses in electronics and programming). The set is also a hardware platform used inthe micro:bit course from FORBOT. Additional materials discuss the micro:bit platform, development environment and the Grove modules included in the set and will be an excellent complement to both the course in the form of a book and the Internet version. In the brochure attached to the setthere are many interesting exercises and examples.

| 2. |  |
FORBOT -a paper edition of themicro:bit course fromFORBOT, allowing children as well as parents and teachers to enter the world of programming in an easy and pleasant way. During the course the reader will go from getting to knowmicro:bit, through installation of the programming environment to building practical projects. |

Shield Grove for micro:bit V2-ShieldGrove enables easy connection of 4 modules from Grove series to micro:bit board. This allows for seamless communication between all components of the devices under construction. |
1 |
| 4. |  |
Grove rotation sensor (P)- there is a 10 kΩ potentiometer on the module. Changing the position of the knob (0-300°) causes a linear change of the output signal. The module can be used, for example, to control volume, speed or any other value. |
1 |
| 5. |  |
Grove loudspeaker- the loudspeaker can make various sounds, e.g. horn, doorbell or alarm. In addition, other non-standard sounds are also possible. The volume change function is carried out by a potentiometer on the module. |
1 |
| 6. |  |
Grove ultrasonic rangefinder- this sensor sends out ultrasounds. Based on whether and when the signal returns to the sensor, you can measure the distance between the sensor and the obstacle. |
1 |
| 7. |  |
Grove light sensor- this module allows to measure the light intensity. The sensor function uses a phototransistor. Depending on how much light is detected, it is possible to control various system parameters (e.g. volume of sounds or speed of diodes flashing). |
1 |
| 8. |  |
Waterproof RGB diode tape WS2812 Grove- this is a tape of digitally controlled RGB diodes, i.e. the ones that can shine in different colors. The tape is waterproof, so you can use it for example outside. |
1 |
| 9. |  |
Grove gesture sensor- the sensor is able to recognize 9 different gestures: up/down/left/right, backward/forward, left/right rotation and swiping. This module can be used to build many interesting devices such as a gesture-controlled sound player. |
1 |
| 10. |  |
MicroUSB Cable- used to connect the BBC mmicro:bit minicomputer to a computer with a USB connector. | 1 |
| 11. |  |
USB type A - microUSB- the cable will allow the module to communicate with our personal computer, from which we will program our minicomputer. The USB cable can also be used to power the board. | 1 |
| 12. |  |
4x 7-segment display module- this module is designed to display 4 digits. It can be used to represent values such as time or distance. |
1 |
| 13. |  |
Red LED- this is an ordinary light emitting diode (LED). Its maximum brightness can be adjusted with a built-in potentiometer. |
1 |
| 14. |  |
Crocodile cables- allow simple connection of modules to micro:bit board pads. |
10 |
| 15. |  |
Grove cables- these can be used to connect modules with a Grove connector with a base plate. |
7 |
| 16. |  |
Alkaline batteries AAA(R3), 1.5 V - are used forpower supply using the battery basket. |
2 |
| 17. |  |
Basket for two AAA batterieswith cable and connector compatible with micro:bit plate. This is the second way to power the board, battery power allows you to move our project to any place. |
