Switch for micro:bit
The MonkMakes Switch for micro:bit is a solid-state (no moving parts) switch that allows students to use the micro:bit as an output to turn things on and off. They can use it with low-voltage devices, like light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element, or even a string of 12V LED lighting. Just remember, the voltage must be kept under 16V and the switch will automatically protect itself against currents that are too powerful.
Get to Know:
The MonkMakes Switch for micro:bit is a transistor switch that enables students to use the micro:bit to turn an LED on and off directly. Typically, using a transistor to switch something on and off requires a shared ground connection with the micro:bit, a deeper knowledge of electronics, and a relay or transistor. The MonkMakes Switch for micro:bit is much easier to use, however, acting as a simple, micro:bit-controlled switch.
- It provides up to 1 Amp of continuous power and 2A for short periods of less than a minute
- Low voltage of < 16A (DC only)
- Active LED indicator
- Resettable ‘polyfuse’ to protect against over-current
- Works with the micro:bit V1 & V2
