The MonkMakes Air Quality Kit for micro:bit centers around the MonkMakes Air Quality Sensor. This BBC micro:bit add - on accurately measures room air quality, detecting how stale the air is. The sensor board has two analog outputs: one for temperature and one for eCO2 (estimated carbon dioxide). The micro:bit can read these outputs and display them as an air quality meter or log data over time for fun experiments. Along with the Air Quality Sensor, the kit comes with alligator clip leads to connect it to the micro:bit. There's also a Speaker for micro:bit that warns you when air quality is low. Included is a full - color 24 - page instruction booklet. SKU00086


Using this MonkMakes Air Quality Kit for micro:bit is easy. First, use the alligator clip leads to connect the Air Quality Sensor to the micro:bit. The micro:bit will then start reading the temperature and eCO2 levels from the sensor. You can display the air quality on the micro:bit or log the data for experiments. If the air quality drops, the Speaker for micro:bit will give you a warning. When using the kit, keep it away from extreme heat or moisture as this can affect the sensor's accuracy. To maintain the kit, clean the sensor gently with a soft, dry cloth every few months. Also, make sure the alligator clip leads are properly connected to avoid data loss. Enjoy exploring the air quality in your surroundings with this great kit!
