Description

The Micro: bit GPIO Breadboard Breakout Board significantly enhances the prototyping capabilities of your micro: bit. While the standard micro: bit offers three digital/analog I/O rings for basic use with alligator clips, this expansion board fully breaks out all 22 GPIO, power, and ground connections into a convenient 0.1-inch pin header format. This allows for direct integration with breadboards, unlocking a wider range of circuit designs and peripheral interfacing possibilities.

Designed for makers and educators, this breakout board makes it easy to experiment with sensors, actuators, and other components that require precise pin access. It provides an additional 5V power supply port and clearly labeled pins, streamlining the development process. Its compatibility with standard 420-point and 840-point breadboards ensures flexibility in your project builds.

Key Features

  • Extends micro: bit functionality by breaking out all 22 GPIO, power, and ground pins.
  • Provides breadboard-compatible 0.1-inch (2.54mm) space headers for direct integration.
  • Includes a dedicated 5V power supply port for powering external components.
  • All GPIO pins and power lines are clearly labeled on the PCB for ease of use.
  • Designed for compatibility with 420-point and 840-point standard breadboards.
  • Features M3 mounting holes for secure attachment in projects or enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What micro:bit versions are compatible with this expansion board?

This expansion board is designed for the standard BBC micro:bit (V1 and V2) and provides direct access to its 22 GPIO pins. It ensures full compatibility for extending your micro:bit’s capabilities with external circuitry and modules and enables full utilization of its I/O.

How does this board facilitate breadboard integration?

The board breaks out all 22 micro:bit GPIO pins, along with power and ground, into a standard 0.1-inch (2.54mm) header format. This allows for direct insertion into common 420-point or 840-point breadboards, simplifying circuit assembly and testing. It transforms micro:bit pins into a breadboard-friendly layout.

What is the purpose of the 5V power supply port?

The integrated 5V power supply port provides an additional, stable power source for external components and circuits connected via the breadboard. This is particularly useful for powering higher current draw sensors, actuators, or other modules independently of the micro:bit's onboard power supply limitations.

Are the pins clearly labeled for easy use?

Yes, all 22 GPIO pins, as well as the power (3.3V, 5V) and ground (GND) connections, are clearly labeled on the PCB. This meticulous labeling aids in quick identification and error-free wiring during the prototyping and development process, enhancing user experience.
