Kitronik 5636 Klimate Environment Monitoring Board

This RTC & Klimate board is a Real-Time Clock (RTC) and environmental sensor (BME280) interface for the BBC microbit. The environmental sensor will give the ability to measure temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. The RTC will give the ability to read the current time and date.

The board produces a regulated 3V supply that is fed into the edge connector to power the inserted BBC micro:bit, removing the need to power the BBC micro:bit directly. The coin cell holder allows a CR2032 battery to power the real-time clock to continue keeping time whilst there is no mains power being supplied to the board and BBC micro:bit.

Features

• Add Real-Time Clock and environmental sensing capabilities to the BBC micro:bit.
• The coin-cell battery ensures that the RTC & Klimate board continues to keep time when the board is not connected to a power source.
• It features an expansion port for 3v I2C devices, such as an OLED display or ZIP LEDs.
• Write code using the MakeCode Editor.
• Code with ease, courtesy of the custom blocks that have been added to the MakeCode Editor.
• When the RTC & Klimate board is powered, it will also power the inserted microbit.
