It includes a servo-driven barrier arm, an integrated 3×AAA battery cage with on/off switch, and a buzzer for sound effects. The ACCESS:bit joins the Kitronik family of transportation micro:bit accessories alongside the STOP:bit and LAMP:bit.\n\nOnce the micro:bit is fitted, its LED matrix remains fully visible and can display warning signals, stop/go symbols, or act as a light sensor for autonomous barrier actions. The board connects via the supplied M3 countersunk screws or crocodile clips.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nAccess Barrier Simulation – Servo-driven barrier arm for realistic movement\n\nIntegrated Battery Cage – 3×AAA with on/off switch (batteries not included)\n\nBuilt-in Buzzer – Sound effects for barrier open/close actions\n\nLED Matrix Visible – micro:bit display remains accessible for signals and symbols\n\nMakeCode Extension – Custom Kitronik code blocks available in the MakeCode editor\n\nFlexible Connection – Attach via M3 screws or crocodile clips\n\nDimensions – 89 mm (H) × 125 mm (W with barrier extended) × 30 mm (D with servo)\n\n\n\nTip: To add the custom MakeCode blocks, open the MakeCode editor, click the cog icon, select Extensions, and search for \"Kitronik\".
