MonkMakes CO2 Mini Kit for micro:bit
A CO2 Sensor designed to interface with the BBC micro:bit through simple ring connectors. The board is a true CO2 sensor that also measures temperature and relative humidity, making it perfect for environmental science, chemistry, and biology projects.
Get to Know:
The level of CO2 in the air we breathe has a direct influence on our well-being. CO2 levels are of particular interest from a public health point of view, as, to put it simply, they are a measure of how much we are breathing other people's air. We humans breathe out CO2 and so, if several people are in a poorly ventilated room, the level of CO2 will gradually increase, as will the viral aerosols that spread disease. This kit allows students to explore concepts of public health and safety, environmental science, and more.
The board will work with micro:bit version 1 and 2 boards, although some of the projects included in the instructions will only work with micro:bit version 2 boards. As well as communicating its readings with a micro:bit, the CO2 Mini also has an LED that changes color between green, orange and red, giving a rough indication of air quality. The accompanying booklet includes five experiments complete with code in MakeCode blocks and Python.
