Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit - Pre-built

If you want to explore more possibilities with your BBC micro:bit, then this pre-built version of our Edge Connector Breakout Board is just what you need! This breakout board is designed to provide an easy way to connect additional circuits and hardware to the pins located on the edge of the BBC micro:bit. It grants access to all the pins of the BBC micro:bit processor, allowing you to add extra functionality. The datasheet, which can be found below, includes a helpful diagram explaining the function of each pin on the BBC micro:bit.

The Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit grants access to all the important pins located on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. In total, 21 pins are made available, providing additional I/O lines, direct access to buttons A and B, the LED matrix outputs, and the I2C bus. For more detailed information, please refer to the datasheet provided.

The BBC micro:bit pins are arranged in a row of pin headers, which allows for easy connection of circuits using jumper wires. The SCL and SDA pins are separated at the edge of the board, providing clear identification through solder pads. The PCB also includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V, and unconnected rows that can be soldered to. This enables easy connection of switches, sensors, and any necessary pull-up or pull-down resistors.
