Useful Accessories
The Klip Motor board is compatible with a number Kitronik products already available, including
motors, BBC micro:bit accessories and LEDs.
The main accessory used across all projects involving the Klip Motor will be crocodile clips; having a
variety of colours and lengths will be helpful (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2407).
There are some motors with add-on boards to make them ready for crocodile clip connections:
• Solderless TT Motor (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2594)
o Kitronik Wheels for TT motor https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2593-TT
• Solderless Gear Motor (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2591-solderless-gear-motor.html)
o Kitronik Wheels for Solderless Gear motor https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2593-D
For adding ZIP LEDs to Klip Motor projects, the ZIP Hex (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/35140-zip-hex-
led-pack-of-5.html) boards are perfect as they specifically designed for crocodile clips, and have all
the connections necessary for linking multiple LEDs together in a continuous chain.
All of the Kitronik :CITY products can be used, as they only ever use the main BBC micro:bit pins:
• STOP:bit (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/5642-stopbit-traffic-light-for-bbc-microbit.html)
• LAMP:bit (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/5643-lampbit-street-light-for-bbc-microbit.html)
• ACCESS:bit (https://www.kitronik.co.uk/5646-accessbit-for-bbc-microbit.html)
Many of the Electro-Fashion range have connections suitable for using with crocodile clips, for
instance:

• https://www.kitronik.co.uk/e-textiles-conductive-thread/leds-for-e-textiles.html
As well as connecting other circuit boards to the Klip Motor, basic components like LEDs, switches,
buzzers, and simple sensors can also be connected, providing plenty of options and opportunities for
education and creativity.
