<h2>Introduction to the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit for micro:bit</h2>
<p>The SparkFun Inventor’s Kit for micro:bit Experiment Guide is your map for navigating the waters of beginning embedded electronics, robotics and citizen science using the micro:bit. This guide contains all the information you will need to explore the 12 circuits of the <a href="http://bit.ly/2h9hRGN">SparkFun Inventors Kit for micro:bit</a>. At the center of this guide is one core philosophy — that anyone can (and should) experiment with cutting-edge electronics in a fun and playful way without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>When you’re done with this guide, you’ll have the know-how to start creating your own projects and experiments. From building robots and game controllers to data logging, the world will be your oyster. Now enough talking — let’s start tinkering!</p>

<p>The SparkFun Inventor’s Kit (SIK) for micro:bit includes the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>micro:bit</strong> — The brains of the outfit with a bunch of onboard components.</li>
<li><strong>micro:bit Breakout (with Headers)</strong> — Allows you to connect the micro:bit to the breadboard.</li>
<li><strong>Breadboard</strong> — Excellent for making circuits and connections off the micro:bit. We included a full-sized breadboard to give you plenty of room.</li>
<li><strong>Small Servo</strong> — Here is a simple, low-cost, high-quality servo for all your mechatronic needs.</li>
<li><strong>Piezo Buzzer</strong> — BUZZZZ! Used to make different frequencies of sound.</li>
<li><strong>USB micro-B Cable</strong> — This 6-foot cable provides you with a USB-A connector at the host end and standard B connector at the device end.</li>
<li><strong>Male-to-Male Jumper Wires</strong> — These are high-quality wires that allow you to make connections with components on the breadboard.</li>
<li><strong>Photocell</strong> — A sensor to detect ambient light. Perfect for detecting when a drawer is opened or when nighttime approaches.</li>
<li><strong>Tri-Color LED</strong> — Because everyone loves a blinky.</li>
<li><strong>Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green LEDs</strong> — Light-Emitting Diodes make great general indicators.</li>
<li><strong>Momentary Pushbutton Switch</strong> — Go crazy with buttons.</li>
<li><strong>10kΩ Trimpot</strong> — Also known as a variable resistor, this is a device commonly used to control volume and contrast, and makes a great general user control input.</li>
<li><strong>100Ω Resistors</strong> — Great current-limiting resistors for LEDs, and strong pull-up resistors.</li>
<li><strong>10kΩ Resistors</strong> — These make excellent pull-ups, pull-downs and current limiters.</li>
<li><strong>2x AA Battery Pack</strong> — A AA battery pack with the JST connector that fits the micro:bit</li>
<li><strong>Aligator Clip Wires</strong> — A great way to connect individual components to the micro:bit ring connectors.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Suggested Reading</h3>
<p>Before continuing with this guide, we recommend you be somewhat familiar with the concepts in the following tutorials:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bit.ly/2nL8cZL">Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Ohm’s Law</a> — The most basic concepts in electronics and electrical engineering. Get very familiar with these concepts, as they will be used throughout your electronics adventure.</li>
<li><a href="http://bit.ly/2eUD3zg">What is a Circuit?</a> — In this guide, we will be building a variety of circuits. Understanding what that means is vital to understanding the Inventor’s Kit.</li>
<li><a href="http://bit.ly/2kamGiX">How to Use a Breadboard</a> — First time working with a breadboard? Please check out this tutorial! It will help you understand why the breadboard is great for prototyping and how to use one.</li>
