The Kitronik LAB:bit for the BBC microbit offers a super fun way for children to learn about coding in an engaging and hands-on way. designed for delivering computing to students aged 8+ and is backed by online MakeCode tutorials, simplified custom blocks, and a detailed getting started guide.
Combining the micro:bit with the SparkFun moto:bit - micro:bit Carrier Board (Qwiic) creates a flexible, low-cost robotics platform for anyone from students getting started with the micro:bit to the engineer looking to quickly prototype or build a proof of concept.
Kitronik allowed me to experience this by allowing me to create an extension for their HaloHD product for the micro:bit. This developed my understanding of different programming languages whilst learning what a job in the industry truly is like.
We are going to look at how we can multitask on the BBC micro:bit with MakeCode. In our example we used the Kitronik HaloHD to visually indicate the micro:bit running two different tasks at the same time.
The gator:color is one of a series of gator-clippable boards called gator:boards that SparkFun has created to interface with the micro:bit and gator:bit expansion for micro:bit.
