Monk Makes is known for its useful electronic kits and modules. Many of their electronics and sensors are compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards, making their products ideal for many schools.
The Raspberry Pi Electronic Starter Kit contains all the components needed, together with easy to follow instruction cards, in order to complete 10 simple experiments involving LEDs, thermistors, photoresistors and switches and is an ideal starting point for anyone new to electronics and the Raspberry Pi.
Pack of two Raspberry Squids A bright RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED with builtin resistors and female header leads that can just plug directly onto the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi. This product includes a Raspberry Leaf GPIO Identification template.
A bright RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED with builtin resistors and female header leads that can just plug directly onto the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi.
Please note individual Squids are packaged in a clear plastic bag.
The Squid Button LATCHING is a latching (clickon, click again off) push switch with trailing leads that end in female header sockets that will fit over GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi, Node MCU or Particle Photon. To reduce the chance of accidental shortcircuits when using the Button, each Button has a builtin 470Ω resistor that does not affect the switching action when connected to a GPIO input, but does mean that if the switch is accidentally connected across power connections your Raspberry Pi will not come to any harm.

This kit includes 2 servo motors and a Monk Makes ServoSix interface board for use with Raspberry Pi.
Go from solderless breadboard design to a neat soldered solution that works with connectors that don’t play well with breadboard using the MonkMakes Protoboard kit.
After its successful KickStarter Campaign the MonkMakes Protoboard is now available to buy as a 5-pack of boards.
This is a twin pack of side components for the MonkMakes Protoboard. It includes relays, components for a 5V power supply and connectors. Packaged in small cardboard box.
The MonkMakesDuino LCD Kit provides plenty of entertainment building projects and learning how to program and use the MonkMakesDuino Arduino compatible board.
This is an Arduino Uno compatible board designed for ease of use with breadboard.
The MonkMakes Speaker for micro:bit is a neat little amplified speaker that connects to the micro:bit using alligator clips. Despite its small size, the speaker is pretty loud.
Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.
The MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit is a solidstate(no moving parts) relay that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things
on and off.
This 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.
Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.
The MonkMakes Sensor Board for micro:bit can be used to measure sound levels, temperature and light levels.
Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.
This kit contains everything needed to start learning about connecting electronics to the micro:bit in an accessible and easy manner. Everything is connected using the supplied alligator clips, so no soldering required. This kit suitable for children as young as 10 with some adult help.
The MonkMakes RGB LED is an LED that can be used to make any colour. Handily mounted on a PCB it connects to the micro:bit using alligator clips.
Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.
Perfect for micro:bit, our leads are supplied in a bundle of 10. Two each of black, red, white, green and yellow. Each lead is 185mm (7.5 inches) long from tip to tip.
The 7-segment for micro:bit is a four digit 7-segment display for micro:bit. You can use it to display numbers, but it can also display letters and other characters, albeit with the limits imposed by the 7 segments of each digit. Powered directly from micro:bit pins it can be used to send messages to the display using the micro:bit’s Serial blocks. Please note that the individual boards are packed in antistatic bubblewrap bags.
This kit will provide you with a good set of components allowing you to make many of the projects in the book, as well as providing a great basic kit of parts to get you started on your electronics adventure.
Servo for micro:bit provides a really easy way to attach up to three servomotors to a BBC micro:bit. The board requires a
power supply or battery pack to provide 5 or 6V to the servomotors. It includes a voltage regulator that will supply 3V back to
the micro:bit.
The MonkMakes Power for micro:bit opens up lots of ways of powering your micro:bit.
The board has a standard DC barrel jack that accepts between 4.5 and 12V and provides a regulated 3V output to the micro:bit via its JST battery connector.
The Servo Kit for micro:bit makes it easy to connect up three servomotors from your micro:bit. Not only that, but the kit also comes with three servomotors and a battery box. Just add a micro:bit and batteries and away you go!
The MonkMakes Powered Speaker is an easy to use amplified speaker on a PCB. The board needs a 5V power supply that can be provided by a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Audio input will normally be to the 3.5mm stereo audio jack socket, which is mixed to a mono signal as there is just a single speaker on the board.
This board, designed for use with the Lets Talk Science Living Space Project, provides a CO2, temperature and Relative Humidity measurements to a BBC micro:bit.
The Monk Makes Plant Monitor board is a capacitive moisture meter with temperature and relative humidity measurement. Compatible with micro:bit, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Pico and most microcontroller boards.
