Pimoroni ENVIRO:BIT Sense The World Around You With enviro:bit
Sense the world around you with enviro: bit! It’s loaded with sensors for air and weather, colour and light, and sound, and slots right onto your micro: bit.
Just slot in your micro: bit, then code enviro: bit with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, or with MicroPython in the Mu code editor. The sensors go hand-in-hand really well with the LED matrix on the micro: bit, letting you graph sensor readings or have the LEDs react to sound, for example.
Features
- Comes fully-assembled and ready to use
- BME280Â temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor
- TCS3472 light and colour sensor
- MEMS microphone
- Compatible with micro: bit and micro: bit v2
- Microsoft MakeCode and MicroPython support
- No soldering is required!
SoftwareÂ
You can code enviro: bit with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, which’ll get you started with using the sensor readings from enviro: bit, if you want to delve deeper, then you can use MicroPython in the Mu code editor.
To add the enviro: bit library in MakeCode, click on the cog at the top right-hand corner, then “Add Package”, then search for “enviro bit”. You can find full instructions in the GitHub repository for the library.
Our MicroPython library for enviro: bit is also available on GitHub, again with full instructions on how to get going with it.
