Pet Activity Monitor Kit v8
Pet Activity Monitor Kit v8 — Turn Your micro:bit into a Pet Activity Tracker with 8 Classroom Experiments
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
With this kit, young makers create a pet activity monitoring system using the micro:bit's built-in sensors, the DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor, and PIR motion detector. Students in classrooms or tinkering labs work through 8 experiment cards, each adding a new capability—from simple LED alerts to radio-based remote monitoring—building confidence and coding skills.
What You'll Build
A complete pet activity monitor that detects motion, measures ambient temperature, and wirelessly sends alerts to a second micro:bit station. Step by step, learners assemble the circuit on a breadboard, code in MakeCode, and test with a mock pet environment. By the final experiment, the monitor can log activity patterns and trigger a remote “food time” signal using radio messages.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a PIR motion sensor and DHT11 temperature/humidity module with micro:bit using block-based coding.
- Program digital outputs to control LEDs and push buttons as user inputs.
- Implement radio communication between two micro:bits for remote alerts.
- Design a data-logging sequence to track pet activity patterns over time.

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 6–10 students exploring sensor-based projects, ATL Tinkering Lab demonstrations, and after-school coding clubs. The 8 structured experiment cards make it easy for a class or a single micro:bit station to teach input/output concepts, sensor integration, and wireless communication in a single session.
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?
Scan the QR code to launch the AI companion, which explains each experiment step by step. You can also send a message on WhatsApp for a quick answer from our team.
Does the kit include a second micro:bit for radio experiments?
No, the kit includes one micro:bit. Radio experiments require a second micro:bit from the classroom set or a friend’s kit to send and receive messages.
Can I use this to monitor a real pet?
Absolutely! Place the PIR sensor near your pet’s resting area, connect the DHT11 to check temperature comfort, and code radio alerts for unusual activity. Adult supervision is recommended.
Are the experiment cards suitable for beginners with no coding experience?
Yes, each card introduces MakeCode block-based coding from the ground up. You’ll start by blinking an LED and build up to radio messaging and sensor logging with clear, visual instructions.
Pet Tracking — Class set activity for one micro:bit station — 8 structured experiments covering inputs, outputs, sensors and radio. One board, maximum learning.
