PlayGround for BBC Micro:Bit - Starter Kit

Product information "PlayGround for BBC Micro:Bit - Starter Kit"

This is an exciting new way to use your micro:bit, with addon components, but without requiring crocodile clips which can be difficult for small people to use.

Also, this new approach allows the use of a single cable for most addons, instead of 3 crocodile clips

See the 4T blog for detailed usage and programming information

Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit
This pre-built Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit gives access to all the important pins on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. Looking to do more with your BBC micro:bit? Unlock its potential with this pre-built version of our Edge Connector Breakout Board! This breakout board has been designed to offer an easy way to connect additional circuits and hardware to the pins on the edge of the BBC micro:bit. It provides access to all of the BBC micro:bit processor pins allowing a lot of extra functionality to be added. The datasheet (below) includes a helpful diagram explaining the function of every pin on the BBC micro:bit. This Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit gives access to all of the important pins on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. 21 pins are broken out in total; providing additional I/O lines, direct access to buttons A and B, the LED matrix outputs and the I2C bus. Please refer to the datasheet below for more details.  The BBC micro:bit pins are broken out to a row of pin headers. These provide an easy way of connecting circuits using jumper wires. The SCL and SDA pins are separated at the edge of the board (solder pads) providing easy identification. The PCB includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V and unconnected rows that can be soldered to. This allows the easy connection of switches, sensors and any pull-up or pull-down resistors etc. as required. To use the breakout board the BBC micro:bit should be inserted firmly into the connector as shown below:
