Product information "DFRobot Boson Starter Kit for micro:bit"

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller that allows children and beginners to learn coding and electronics and easily realise ideas for digital DIY games, interactive projects and robotics.
To explore even more possibilities with the micro:bit, we have now combined it with DFRobot's Boson modules, a set of modularised electronic blocks suitable for any child to begin their hands-on journey of creation.

DFRobot's Boson Starter Kit for micro:bit contains 8 selected modules covering the most popular digital and analogue sensors and actuators, supporting interaction with sound, light and motion. The modules communicate with the micro:bit via a 3-pin interface and are perfectly compatible with the Microsoft MakeCode JavaScript online editor and the Python editor. Click on the link to learn more about DFRobot's Boson module.

The micro:bit expansion board for Boson is used to connect Boson modules to micro:bit. The expansion board has an edge connector, 6 foolproof 3-pin sockets, a 3.5MM headphone connection and a volume control. To ensure a consistent power supply to the motor and servo, the expansion board can be powered externally via the USB power connector.

Note: The USB power connector CANNOT be used to upload programs.

To help you easily understand how to use each module, the boson kit for micro:bit comes with a quick start guide that includes 4 basic projects with wiring and example codes. Go through the instructions and create your own invention!

Note: micro:bit is NOT included in the kit. You must purchase it separately.

Auf den ersten Blick macht das...

Auf den ersten Blick macht das Set einen sehr guten Eindruck. Alles ist ordentlich verpackt und sauber beschriftet. Ein weiterführender Funktionstest steht noch aus.
