Kitronik All-in-one Robotics Board for BBC micro:bit V1 & V2

Perhaps you've been assembling a new robot friend, adding a computer for a brain and other fun personality touches. Now the time has come to let it leave the nest and fly on its own wings– err, wheels! These durable (but affordable!) plastic gearbox motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy, low-cost way to get your projects moving. This is a TT DC Gearbox Motor with a gear ratio of 1:48, and it comes with 2 x 200mm wires with breadboard-friendly 0.1" male connectors. Perfect for plugging into a breadboard or terminal blocks. You can power these motors with 3VDC up to 6VDC, they'll of course go a little faster at the higher voltages. We grabbed one motor and found these stats when running it from a bench-top supply At 3VDC we measured 150mA @ 120 RPM no-load, and 1.1 Amps when stalled At 4.5VDC we measured 155mA @ 185 RPM no-load, and 1.2 Amps when stalled At 6VDC we measured 160mA @ 250 RPM no-load, and 1.5 Amps when stalled Note that these are very basic motors, and have no built-in encoders, speed control or positional feedback. Voltage goes in, rotation goes out! There will be variation from motor to motor, so a separate feedback system is required if you need precision movement.

Get more from the BBC micro:bit with Kitronik's incredible Inventor's kit! The simple way to learn about creating circuits and code. Please Note: BBC micro:bit is NOT included. The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the BBC micro:bit. This Inventor's Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments including using LEDs, motors, LDRs and capacitors. To get you off to a flying start, Kitronik have included an easy to follow tutorial book which guides you through everything you will need to know about programming the BBC micro:bit. You don't need any experience with programming as the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way. You'll be programming and creating circuits in no time! The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit provides a fantastic way of learning how to construct and control electronic circuits. The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB (see datasheet below for details). By using the specially designed Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit in conjunction with the breadboard (see below), it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit. No soldering is required and you can build your first circuit in minutes! Note: This kit requires assembly. Features: No soldering required - build your first circuit in minutes! Make 10 experiments included in the provided step-by-step tutorial book. All parts are included to conduct the 10 experiments (listed below). Breaks out 21 accessible pins from the BBC micro:bit using the Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit (included). Small Prototype Breadboard included for fast prototyping. All of the experiments included in this booklet (listed below) are based on the Microsoft BlockEditor and Microsoft TouchDevelop editor software.
