Micro:bit Morse Code Torch Kit with BBC Micro:bit
Micro:bit Morse Code Torch Kit – Build a Secret Light Messenger in 3 Hours
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn light into language by building your own Morse code torch that blinks secret messages. Press a button and a powerful LED flashes dots and dashes, visible hundreds of meters away. For extra stealth, the micro:bit’s built‑in radio can send your message wirelessly to a friend’s device.
What You'll Build
With this kit, you’ll assemble a handheld torch that translates button presses into Morse code light pulses. You’ll program the micro:bit to decode your taps into dots and dashes, and even configure the radio to broadcast the message to another micro:bit. The whole device clips together without soldering, so you can focus on coding and the thrill of sending hidden signals.
What You'll Learn
- Programming the BBC micro:bit with MakeCode to read button inputs and control an LED
- Building a transistor switching circuit to drive a high‑power LED safely
- Understanding Morse code timing and creating your own message patterns
- Using radio communication to send secret messages wirelessly between micro:bits

Who This Kit Is For
This beginner‑friendly kit is ideal for young makers aged 8–10 who love tinkering, especially those involved in Atal Tinkering Labs, school STEM clubs, or science fairs. It’s also a great hands‑on gift for parents wanting to introduce coding and electronics without any soldering.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion walks you through each step, and you can reach us on WhatsApp for personal help.
Does this kit require soldering?
Not at all. All connections use crocodile clips and jumper wires, so you can assemble the entire circuit without a soldering iron.
Can I program the micro:bit using a phone or tablet?
Yes, the micro:bit is fully programmable via the MakeCode app on Android and iOS. No computer is required.
Is this kit suitable for school science exhibitions?
Absolutely. The Morse code torch demonstrates programming, electronics, and communication principles in one project, often winning prizes at school fairs.
Bright LED torch triggered by button sends Morse code messages — combine light signals with radio backup.
