ELECFREAKS micro:bit AI Smart Lens Kit

£55.00

Innovative Design
Curriculum Aligned

Add AI vision to micro:bit projects with this plug-and-play camera module. The 90-degree wide-angle lens captures faces, colors, and objects for recognition tasks—children programme responses using MakeCode's visual blocks without complex algorithms.

Pre-trained models handle face tracking, color detection, card recognition, line following, and ball tracking. The one-button training feature lets children teach the lens to recognize new objects. Works with Nezha expansion boards and TPBot robot cars. Requires BBC micro:bit (sold separately).

What's included:

AI Lens with 1.3" screen (240x240 resolution)
41 recognition cards
Red and blue tracking balls
RJ11 connection cable (200mm)
RJ11 to Dupont adapter cable

Suitable for children aged 8 years and up

Further Information

What's Included: AI Lens module with K210 processor, 1.3" screen (240x240 resolution), 90-degree wide-angle lens, 41 pre-printed recognition cards, red and blue tracking balls, RJ11 connection cable (200mm), RJ11 to Dupont adapter cable, protective shell and screen layer.

About the Brand: ELECFREAKS is an official partner of the Micro:bit Educational Foundation. Their Planet X sensor series uses plug-and-play RJ11 connections designed to make electronics accessible to children.

How It Works: Connect the AI Lens to a micro:bit expansion board via RJ11 cable. Programme using MakeCode blocks to access pre-trained models (faces, colors, cards, lines, balls). The lens captures images, processes recognition, and returns results to your micro:bit programme. One-button training allows custom object recognition without coding.

AI Functions: Face tracking (follows detected faces), color recognition (identifies and names colors), card recognition (reads 41 included instruction cards), line tracking (follows black lines), ball tracking (follows red or blue balls), machine learning (teach custom objects with one-button training).

Compatibility: Works with any micro:bit expansion board that has RJ11 ports or 3.3v-5v connection (adapter included). LEGO-compatible mounting. Integrates with Nezha 48 IN 1 Inventor's Kit, TPBot robot car, and other ELECFREAKS kits.

Programming: Use MakeCode's visual blocks—no complex AI algorithms required. ELECFREAKS provides extension library with simple commands. Firmware updates available from manufacturer's website to add new features.

Technical Specifications: K210 AI processor, 90-degree wide-angle lens, 240x240 resolution, 1.3" display screen, RJ11 plug-and-play connection, 3.3v-5v compatible.

Important Note: Requires BBC micro:bit board AND micro:bit expansion board with RJ11 port or suitable connections (both sold separately).
