About this Product

The ELECFREAKS micro:bit Smart Climate Kit is an educational IoT and environmental monitoring kit designed around the BBC micro:bit V2 and the IOT:bit expansion board. The kit allows students to explore environmental science, meteorology, and smart agriculture by collecting real-time climate data and sending it wirelessly to IoT cloud platforms like Thingspeak. Equipped with a wide selection of Octopus series sensors—including a BME280 temperature/humidity/pressure sensor, UV sensor, wind speed sensor, dust (PM2.5) sensor, soil moisture sensor, and water level sensor—the kit bridges physical weather monitoring with digital cloud logging. Accompanied by detailed hands-on project cases (such as smart greenhouse monitors, weather stations, and pollution detectors), it empowers students to write MakeCode and Python programs to observe, analyze, and address environmental challenges.

Features

IOT:bit Expansion Board Integration: Onboard Wi-Fi module enables direct communication with IoT cloud servers (e.g., Thingspeak) to visualize live data trends.
Comprehensive Climate Sensors: Measures ambient temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, dust/air quality, wind speed, soil moisture, and water levels.
Octopus Sensor Suite: Uses 3-pin GVS plug-and-play connectors for easy, fool-proof breadboardless connections.
Real-Time Data Visualization: Displays sensor readings on the onboard 0.96-inch OLED screen or streams them over Wi-Fi.
MakeCode & Python Compatibility: Program using graphical blocks in Microsoft MakeCode or text-based MicroPython.
Practical Environmental Projects: Includes guided cases for building mini weather stations, smart agriculture monitors, air quality meters, and automated climate alarms.
