The Kitronik Smart Greenhouse Kit is a hands-on STEM, coding and environmental science project for the BBC micro:bit. Students can program the greenhouse with MakeCode to monitor temperature, humidity and soil moisture, control a water pump, and create automated growing systems that respond to changing environmental conditions.
Unlock thesecrets of nature with code, engineering, and the Kitronik Smart Greenhouse Kit for BBC micro:bit!
This kit is compatible with both the micro:bit V1 and the new microbit V2, available separately.The kit comprises a two-part plastic greenhouse, Kitronik environmental control board, water pump, Kitronik ZIP Stick, and Mini Prong soils moisture sensor. Also included are 5 crocodile clips, ZIP extension cable and a small screwdriver. Just add a micro:bit, seeds, and then some water and you will have everything you need!
The kit also ships with detailed assembly and coding instructions that will get you up and cultivating in no time. There are also 7 online MakeCode tutorials that build in complexity as you progress through them. They cover everything from gathering sensor data and having the system automatically react to it, to visual user interfaces and more. It is recommended that the user/student complete the tutorials in order for the best learning experience.
At the heart of the micro:bit controlled Kitronik Smart Greenhouse Kit is the Kitronik environmental control board. This board provides a variety of sensor inputs and connection points for the BBC micro:bit (V1 & V2) and provides the ability to control outputs for devices such as a water pump, fan, servo or heater pad. This makes it ideal for feedback control systems, such as the smart greenhouse kit.
