The LAMP:bit has connections that allow the micro:bit to be directly screwed or clamped in place. It is designed to replicate a street lamp, both in form and function. This is a great board for use in transport projects and is designed to have the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit, so they can be used together in the same projects.
The board also includes a phototransistor that can be used to respond to changes in ambient light levels, allowing the white LED to switch on and off autonomously. For time-controlled switching, the project may include the Kitronik RTC board for another type of autonomy.
The power is supplied to the board from the micro:bit, which is connected to the board via the 0V and 3V pins.
Features:
The LAMP:bit is an accessory for the BBC micro:bit that mimics a street lamp.
It has a built-in phototransistor for autonomous switching.
The micro:bit can be screwed or clicked onto the board.
It follows the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit.
It can be used in combination with the STOP:bit for larger projects.
We have created custom code blocks for the MakeCode Editor that are available as an extension of the editor.
The bottom of the LAMP:bit PCB clicks off to form a stable cross base.
