Although these experiments explore how individual logic gates work, in chips there could be millions of individual logic gates, depending on the size and complexity of the chip. For example, there are approximately 1.4 billion transistors in a quad core i7. If we assume that the average gate requires three transistors then that would give approx. 450 million gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this kit are 5 IC's, each a different type of logic gate. They are; AND, OR, XOR, NAND, and a NOT Gate. There are also colour coded stickers included, and these colours are used throughout the booklet in the circuit diagrams. The kit also contains 2 x 2N7000 FETs and a pack of 10 male to male jumper wires. Each experiment also makes use of components from the Inventor's kit for micro:bit, often LEDs as they offer a visual and immediate indication of the 'state' of gate inputs and outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe code has been created in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/makecode.microbit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMicrosoft MakeCode Editor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand the code for each of the experiments can be downloaded from the resources section below. Kitronik have also produced Python code examples for each of the experiments, these are also available as a download from the resources section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers an easy to understand introduction to Digital Logic gates and combining these gates with the micro:bit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis kit can be used as a teaching aid for Basic Digital Logic curriculum at KS3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun and hands on introduction to the building blocks of ICs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode can be created with the Microsoft\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/makecode.microbit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMakeCode editor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand also in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/python.microbit.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePython editor\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe code examples have also been provided as a download from the resources section below.
