MonkMakes
The MonkMakes Switch for micro:bit is a solid-state (no moving parts) switch that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things on and off.
This board can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the switch will automatically protect itself against too much current.

The MonkMakes Amplified Speaker 2 is an easy to use amplified speaker on a circuit board.
The board needs a 3.3 to 6V power supply that can be provided by a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Audio input will normally be to the 3.5mm stereo audio jack socket, which is mixed to a mono signal.
The product includes a separate input with low-pass filter for use with PWM/PCM audio.

Now updated with a new chapter on the Raspberry Pico W, this book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject.
The book initially focusses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico’s built-in LED. Once you have mastered the basics of coding the Pico, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to use sensors, switches, LEDs, servomotors and displays attached to your Pico or Pico W.
All the parts used in the book are available in the companion kit, Electronics Kit 1 for Pico (SKU00088)

This board is designed to dock with a BBC micro:bit using the micro:bit's edge connector. The board is a true CO2 sensor that also measures temperature and relative humidity.
Features
- Low power -- power directly from your micro:bit
- CO2 0-5000ppm, temperature and relative humidity measurement
- Has a makecode library to simplify programming
Please note that this product, while it has many of the same features as the MonkMakes CO2 for micro:bit is based on a completely different sensor and is not a direct replacement for use in the Living Space project (amendments will need to be made to the teacher's notes).

This board allows you to connect up to six servomotors to a microcontroller. Breadboard-friendly, the ServoSix V3 is perfect for the Raspberry Pi Pico, but also compatible with ESP32, Arduino etc.
Features
- Screw terminals and header pins for servo power supply -- use either.
- Reverse-polarity protection for the servo power supply.
- Power indicator LED.
- Electrolytic reservoir capacitor for servo supply smoothing.
- Current limiting resistors for servo control lines (to protect GPIO pins)
