Kitronik LAMP:bit - Street lamp for BBC micro:bit

The LAMP:bit has connections that can be used to attach the Micro:bit directly to it. It has been designed to mimic a street lamp in form and function. This is a great board for use in school, for example in transportation projects, and has been designed to have the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit so they can be used together in the same projects.

The board also has a phototransistor that can react to changes in ambient brightness and switches the white LED on and off automatically.

The board is powered by the micro:bit, which is connected to the board via the 0 V and 3 V pins.
