“What’s a Microcontroller with Python and micro:bit” is a series of web lessons (in progress) designed to get anyone—from the casual maker to pre-engineering student—started with building circuits and designing their own micro:bit-based inventions.

This kit has all the parts you need to add to your classroom’s existing set of micro:bit GO or CLUB bundles.

Your micro:bit module connects to the kit’s breadboard with the included Edge I/O Adapter. A variety of electronic parts support hands-on building with circuits common in many devices: including: indicator lights (binary output), pushbuttons (binary inputs), servo position motors (analog output), potentiometer rotation and phototransistor light sensors (analog inputs), RGB LEDs (parallel input to analog output), and infrared object detectors, transistors, and amplifiers (integrated circuits).

Breadboard circuits paired with the micro:bit module’s built-in radio, accelerometer, compass, mic, buttons, display, and all its other features take the learning and invention possibilities to an entirely new level. Students using these kits will not only learn about the circuits, but how to test and measure them with the CYBERscope web app that uses the micro:bit as a multimeter, oscilloscope, and more.

This kit and tutorial series is the next generation of the original BASIC Stamp based “What’s a Microcontroller” developed by Parallax engineer and author Andy Lindsay. With over a hundred thousand of the original text and kits sent around the world, it inspired a generation of inventors, technicians and engineers.

Andy is bringing his years of experience equipping and training educators to “What’s a Microcontroller with Python and micro:bit”, a joint project with CYBER.ORG, the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center.

Features:
  • Use your classroom’s micro:bit GO or CLUB bundles to teach circuit-building, electronics, and pre-engineering skills
  • The Edge I/O Adapter makes it easy to extend micro:bit I/O pads to a breadboard for prototyping
  • Alligator clip probes and a web app turn the micro:bit into a multimeter and even an oscilloscope for exploring electricity
Project Ideas:
  • Detect and log if motion is detected in a room
  • Create a mechanical pointer that shows you which way is North
  • Control light in terrarium
  • Create model stop light and traffic sensors
  • Create games with new sensor inputs for your LED display

  • (1) – Edge I/O Adapter compatible with BBC micro:bit (#32710)
  • (1) – Breadboard Set (#700-32023)

Great Depth, Beautiful Edition.
Format: Hardcover
The deluxe hardcover is gorgeous, with art on the inside of the cover and diagrams and footnotes galore. I will say the footnotes get pretty deep, almost as many of them as there is "normal" text. But very, very well done deluxe anniversary edition. The content blows me away, and like Heiser says, I'll never read my Bible the same way again. Wouldn't recommend this book to most people, as sometimes I had to go back and re-read a passage, or got done with a footnote that was several paragraphs long and had to remember what the text was talking about before I got sidetracked by the footnote. But very glad I read it, very glad I own it. Also comes with a free digital download (though locked to their free app, Logos).

The best book so far from Dr. Michael Heiser!! A MUST-HAVE!!
Format: Paperback
This book is a must have! Dr. Michael Heiser was a great scholar that gave truth to all he taught. His book is really filled with good in depth information where you get more understanding with what you read from Scripture. It gives great detail explanation of many topics and references to where you can look into Scripture. There's many footnotes in it as well from him. He has many different books written and I think this is his best. So YES this is a must have and you should get "The Unseen Realm" from Dr. Michael Heiser.

Outstanding Book, Read Best with Careful Right Division
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase. I bought this book for myself and, after reading it, also purchased copies for several family members and friends. The Unseen Realm is one of the most thought-provoking and eye-opening biblical studies I’ve encountered. Michael Heiser does an excellent job restoring the supernatural worldview of Scripture and shedding light on passages that are often overlooked or misunderstood. From an Acts 9 Mid-Acts Dispensational perspective, however, the book is best read with discernment. The narrative frequently treats Acts 2 (Pentecost) as a major turning point in God’s program for the nations. Mid-Acts theology understands Acts 2 as still part of Israel’s prophetic kingdom program, with the distinct revelation of the Church, the Body of Christ, revealed later through the apostle Paul. In addition, the book’s strong emphasis on a unified, canon-wide storyline can blur the important Prophecy vs. Mystery distinction, particularly the uniquely Pauline revelation of the unprophesied mystery of the Body of Christ. Finally, while not teaching baptismal regeneration, the book affirms water baptism as meaningful for believers today, which differs from the Mid-Acts conviction that the Church participates only in the one baptism of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). Overall, this is an excellent and enriching book that I gladly recommend — provided it is read with careful right division and Pauline distinctives firmly in place.

This book will change how you view the Bible in context (in a very good way).
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
When I first stumbled upon Dr. Heiser’s work, I didn’t know just how much I was going to enjoy it. In the Unseen Realm, Dr. Heiser lays out the best exegetical and hermeneutical case I’ve seen for understanding the Bible, especially those hard to understand passages that are littered throughout. This book has helped me take my biblical understanding to another level. It’s also one of the best researched books I’ve come across in any subject (60 pages of bibliography). Not only can you read this and enjoy a new level of understanding, but it can also become a reference book that you use again and again. I’m now going to read his other books because this was fantastic. God bless you all.

Required Reading for Serious-about-Scripture Christians
Format: Hardcover
A must-have, must-read for anyone interested in what Scripture's authors believed and communicated in the writings. Eye opening, gripping, and serves as an outstanding introduction or supplemental to the ancient context of Scripture for understanding it's teaching today. Absent are surface level feel-good platitudes. This book is for someone who wants meat. I highly recommend this book and Michael Heiser's other books.
