The Crowtail STEAM Educational Kit for Micro:bit is a fantastic tool for learning programming and electronics. It comes with 12 common Crowtail modules, each having a standard 4 - pin connector. This makes it super easy to plug them into the base shield and bring your innovative ideas to life. It's fully compatible with the micro:bit, allowing you to program it using Microsoft Makecode or Python effortlessly. The micro:bit is a pocket - sized microcontroller with an onboard accelerometer, compass, BLE, two programmable push buttons, and an LED array. You can use a graphical programming interface like Microsoft Blocks or the mu interface in Python. It's ideal for beginners who want to start learning programming. Inside the kit, you'll get various Crowtail modules such as buzzers, LEDs, and sound sensors to create interesting projects. There's also a detailed tutorial with 17 innovative projects and 17 missions to guide you step - by - step. And the best part? It's plug - and - play, so you can build your circuit in just minutes. You can build basic projects with the micro:bit, like creating a tilt direction detector or a telegraph using the radio. With the Crowtail modules, you can build circuits for various scenarios, such as detecting a magnet. Remember, the 9G servo and buzzer need a large current, so use a battery case to power the micro:bit when working on projects with these components.
Using the Crowtail STEAM Educational Kit for Micro:bit is easy. First, connect the Crowtail modules to the base shield by plugging them in - no soldering required. Then, pair the base shield with the micro:bit. You can use Microsoft Makecode or Python to program the micro:bit. Start with the 17 projects in the detailed tutorial to learn the basics. For example, to build a tilt direction detector, follow the steps in the tutorial. When working on projects with the 9G servo or buzzer, always use a battery case to power the micro:bit because they need a large current. As for maintenance, keep the modules and the base shield clean and dry. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using the kit for a long time, store it in a safe place. That's it! Have fun creating amazing projects with your kit.
