Product description: Environmental Control Board for BBC micro:bit - Kitronik 5697
TheEnvironmentalControl Board fromKitronikis compatible with BBCmicro:bitversions V1 andV2. It provides outputs for connecting a wide range of sensors that determineenvironmental parameters. We also offera kit withthe Environmental Control Board to createan automated home greenhouse. It has, among others, a built-in humidity, temperature and pressure sensor, LED diodes and a buzzer. It is programmable using theMakeCodegraphical editor. It can be powered by 3 x AA batteries or through an external power source.
For proper operation the board requires micro:bit version V1 or V2, which is not included in this kit.Functions
