Use MakeCode to Program the micro:bit with a TCS34725 Colour Sensor
ages 11+ BBC microbit BBC microbit v2 colour sensor makecode microbit microbit accessories microbit tutorials skittles sorting
This tutorial shows how to program the TCS34725 sensor which can be found in the Pimoroni Enviro:bit, Adafruit RGB and Flora sensor boards. These sensor boards all use the I2C ('eye squared see') protocol to communicate - this leaves lots of pins free on your micro:bit for controlling servo motors, LEDs, and even other I2C devices so you can build larger projects e.g., colour sorting machines, or robots. In this project, you will learn: how to set up the set up the Adafruit TCS34725 sensor with the micro:bit v2.x and makecode You will need: a micro:bit v2.x a Kitronik edge...
Program a micro:bit with Python to Control a Water Pump
BBC microbit Kitronik microbit plant microbit tutorials moisture sensor pump python soil moisture
In this project, you will learn:
- how a relay works;
- how to use code to control a relay to turn a water pump on and off; and
- how to automate the pump based on sensor readings.
You will need:
- To have completed our previous tutorial for calibrating a moisture sensor, with the following:
- a micro:bit, computer with mu editor Thonny editor, and microUSB cable for programming the micro:bit
- a moisture sensor
Additional hardware required for this tutorial:
- 1 x submersible pump and hose to fit
- 1 x MonkMakes relay
- 5 x crocodile leads to connect everything up
- 1 x old water bottle or similar container to hold water
