Description
Visit air quality and environment module for micro:bit is an integrated platform designed to measure various environmental parameters in real time. Designed to enhance your micro:bit (not included), it's the perfect tool for learning, home automation projects or scientific experiments.
An all-in-one solution for the environment
This module embeds several essential sensors: temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, air quality index (AQI) and estimated eCO₂ level. It thus enables several aspects of indoor climate to be monitored using a single board, without the addition of complex wiring.
On-board display and memory
A monochrome OLED screen (128 × 64 px) directly displays measurements, graphs or alerts, without the need for an external display. The board also features a 1 Mbit EEPROM memory, coupled with a real-time clock (RTC), to record data with timestamp. Ideal for long experiments or low-frequency readings.
Accessible, visual programming
Designed for use with MakeCode or Python (via the micro:bit editor), this module features ready-to-use blocks for easy reading of each measurement. It also comes with three programmable ZIP LEDs to visually signal air quality, a critical state or an exceeded threshold.
Multiple, stand-alone power supply
The module can be powered either by 3 AA batteries (included), or by USB, with a power switch to save energy. It even features a solar panel input - ideal for powering outdoor or stand-alone projects.
Connectivity and extensions
Four pins (0, 1, 2 and 3 V/GND) are accessible in solderable format, making it easy to add other sensors or actuators (probe, servomotor, etc.). The micro:bit is connected via an Edge logic connector, guaranteeing rapid, error-free integration.
Feel like experimenting? Examples of use
- Indoor weather station displays temperature, humidity and pressure, logs data and displays them as a graph.
- Air quality sensor ZIP LED: monitors the IAQ or eCO₂ index, and flashes the ZIP LEDs if pollution is detected.
- Learning project Atmospheric phenomena, sensors, programming and data visualization in the classroom.
- Stand-alone installation Self-powered version via battery or solar panel for climate measurement in greenhouses, bedrooms or isolated environments.
Resistance and reliable design
This rugged board is designed for prolonged use in the classroom, laboratory or home. Its integrated housing and well-protected components make it a durable solution.
Why this module is an educational asset
- Regroups all relevant environmental measures on a single map.
- Easy to code and deploy, perfect for beginners.
- Offers advanced features (logging, display, light alerts).
- Promotes understanding of the concept of air quality and its indicators.
Conclusion
Visit air quality and environment module for micro:bit is a complete, intuitive and versatile platform for monitoring your environment. Combining advanced sensors, display, memory, simple interface and autonomous power supply, it is an ideal resource for teaching, experimenting, prototyping or monitoring the air in an intelligent and playful way.
