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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tutorial offers step by step guides to all 10 experiments. Experiments 1 - 6 are coded with MakeCode Blocks and experiments 7 - 10 are coded with the MakeCode Python editor. The Python version tutorial booklet has been written especially for this version and will walk the user through creating the code and the circuits.

The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using the specially designed \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/edge-connector-breakout-board-for-bbc-micro-bit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEdge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit\u003c\/a\u003e in conjunction with the breadboard, it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInventors Kit Add-On Packs:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own, the Kitronik Inventors Kit offers a great introduction to the world of physical computing. The experiments showcase how code and electronics can combine to create real-world every day practical solutions to situations and problems. Harnessing the power of the elements, using sensory input to make things happen, and using variable input amounts to effect a gradual change are just some of the things you can learn as you progress through the experiments. But why stop there?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our homes, schools and offices we are surrounded by consumer electronics that at their core, are physical computing devices. Coded electronic devices are everywhere. Many of these devices have been coded to communicate things to us, both visually and audibly. The three add-on packs for the inventors kit have been specifically devised to introduce you to these aspects of practical physical computing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/zip-leds-add-on-pack-for-kitronik-inventors-kit-for-micro-bit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZIP LEDs Add-On Pack\u003c\/a\u003e for Kitronik Inventors Kit for micro:bit - Most consumer electronics heavily rely on LEDs, as LEDs are a great way of providing instant visual feedback for the user.
