Clipit

Alligator clip friendly STEM-microcomputer

---

Overview

Educators can now elevate their STEM-mission with Clipit. Start immediately with light sensor and touch pads to read inputs. Then use any of the supported Languages to process those inputs and then control the output on the 5x5 LED matrix and buzzer.

Go beyond and add alligator clips for reading touch from objects, or control other circuits.

Of course, this is a DUELink board and Downlink is ready for Daisylinking all of your modules.

tip

This board ships preloaded with MicroBlocks firmware.

Key features • Clip Friendly Holes • Capacitive Touchpads • USB-C connector • 5x5 LED Matrix • Buzzer • Light Sensor • 120x60mm Overall Dimension
