Code Club 4/12/2021 update

The next Club will be on Saturday 4th December 2021 @ Paignton Library. Please contact the library to book.

We will carry on with what we were doing last session, hopefully expand on what we were doing with the Micro:bit

In order to try and support this further, I have created a little connector board to help connect components to the Micro:bit computer.

Connector Board 1

Board and servo. The issue with the servo normally is that connecting to a Micro:bit with croc clips you need a solid connection. If you remove the connector you are simply left with very thin, multi core wire.

Connector Board 2

This board just bridges the gap, plug the board connector in to the top.

Connector Board 3

Then connect the crocodile clip(s) to the other set of connectors

Connector Board 4

A close up of the connection.

Please note: There is nothing special about doing this, I just soldered this up in the hope it may make things easier at code club. The servo could be swapped out for other sensors, for example a moisture sensor.

Update 2/12/2021

I have also created an LED board to go with the overall set of boards being created.
