Slider for micro:bit

by Monk Makes

The MonkMakes Slider for micro:bit allows you to interact with your micro:bit by sliding a control left and right.

The board uses a 10kΩ linear variable resistor (pot) to output a voltage between 0 and 3V that can be measured in your micro:bit programs using one of the micro:bit connections as an analog input.

The kit includes the Slider for micro:bit itself plus a set of 5 alligator clip leads and a cap for the slider. Comprehensive instructions with example projects are provided as a free download.

Compatible with micro:bit v1 and v2!

Worked well in a Code Club with 7-9 year olds to learn about analogue input. Board is a good size and easy to handle. The power light is good feedback that the board is correctly connected. Only downside is the sliding arm looks a little bit like it might be broken off if stood on, it would have been nice if it had a large handle attached to it.
