The SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout is a board that connects to the BBC micro:bit and expands the capabilities of the development platform by providing access to more pins and allowing for connections to the I2C and SPI buses. We've already attached headers to this version of the board so you don't need to worry about any soldering! This breakout board for the micro:bit’s edge connector allows intermediate and advanced users to connect the micro:bit to breadboards and other Qwiic sensors, motors, LEDs and more!
The micro:bit on its own has three digital/analogue input/output rings available for you to use initially with alligator clips. With the micro:bit breakout we have broken out all 21 GPIO pins to male headers, power and ground to a pre-soldered 0.1" header and with two individual Qwiic Connectors. With this breakout you will be able to unlock the full potential of your micro:bit!
Note: micro:bit not included
