Using a transistor to switch something on and off requires a shared ground connection with the micro:bit and a knowledge electronics that you or your students may not be ready for. The MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit is much easier to use, acting like a simple micro:bit controlled switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis relay 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 relay will automatically protect itself against too much current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid-state relay (up to 2 Amps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive LED indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResettable ‘polyfuse’ to protect against over-current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1595\/0669\/files\/wiring_relay_large.png?v=1516540578\" alt=\"Buy relay for microbit in Australia at Small Devices\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"embed-youtube\"\u003e\u003ciframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XllaZ1yo260?version=3\u0026amp;rel=1\u0026amp;fs=1\u0026amp;autohide=2\u0026amp;showsearch=0\u0026amp;showinfo=1\u0026amp;iv_load_policy=1\u0026amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-ss1516282965=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.monkmakes.com\/mb_relay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGetting started documentation with examples for MakeCode, MicroPython, and Bitty.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRELATED PRODUCTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as this board, we also have a Sensor for micro:bit and a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/smalldevices.com.au\/products\/monkmakes-amplified-speaker-for-the-bbc-micro-bit\" data-ss1516281947=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Buy MonkMakes products in Australia at Small Devices\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSpeaker for micro:bit\u003c\/a\u003e.
