CincoBit
A low-cost, micro:bit inspired educational board
- Overview
- Driver
- Tethered Samples
- Standalone Samples
Educators will find great value in this low-cost board. This is an excellent micro:bit alternative, giving you alligator clip pads and DUELink Downlink connector for Daisylinking modules.
CincoBit can sense light and temperature, it has 2 user buttons, and can output visual feedback on the 5x5 LED matrix plus generate sounds using the on-board buzzer.
You can't use this board with Microsoft MakeCode directly, but you can use MicroBlocks instead
Classroom CincoBit Kit is designed for classrooms on a budget, where an entire classroom of students can double-up and use a set of 14 for under $100!
