MONKMAKES Slider Board for micro:bit with Crocodile Leads

The MONKMAKES Slider Board provides a straightforward and adjustable analogue input for the BBC micro:bit. Interact with your micro:bit projects by simply sliding the control knob left and right, creating a variable input that can control anything from sprite movement on the display to the pitch of a sound or the brightness of an LED.

At its heart is a high-quality 10kΩ linear variable resistor (potentiometer). As you move the slider, it outputs a smooth, analogue voltage between 0 and 3 volts, which is perfectly within the measurement range of the micro:bit's analogue input pins. This allows for precise control and a wide variety of interactive project possibilities, from creating custom game controllers and dimmer switches to data loggers and interactive art installations.

The kit includes the slider board itself and a set of five colour-coded crocodile clip leads, making connection to the micro:bit quick, secure, and solder-free. This is ideal for classroom environments, workshops, or home learning, where rapid prototyping is key. Comprehensive documentation and example code are available to download, providing instant project ideas and helping users understand how to read the analogue input in both MakeCode and Python programming environments.

Please note: The BBC micro:bit is shown for illustration purposes only and is not included in this kit. The MONKMAKES Slider Board is a versatile and educational tool designed to expand the capabilities of the micro:bit and introduce core concepts of analogue electronics and input sensing in a hands-on, engaging way.
