Edge Breakout Board connector for micro:bit

This Edge connector bypass board for the BBC micro:bit provides access to all important pins on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. Provide additional I/O lines, direct access to the A and B buttons, LED matrix outputs and the I2C bus.

The BBC micro: bit pins are spread across a row of pin headers. These provide an easy way to connect circuits using jumper wires. The SCL and SDA pins are separated on the edge of the board (solder pads) for easy identification. The PCB includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V and unconnected lines that can be soldered. This allows for easy connection of switches, sensors and pull-up or pull-down resistors, etc.

If you are looking for inspiration, look no further than these examples using the Edge Connector for the micro: bit.

The Bypass Board is used in the Collision Detection Buggy which uses the extra I/O available.
We also used this Edge Connector for the micro BBC: bit in our Inventor's Kit for the micro BBC: bit to make the experience even easier.
To use the Bypass Board, the micro BBC: bit must be inserted firmly into the connector.

Note:

This product comes with straight double row PCB pin sockets already soldered to the bypass board.
This product is also available as a kit.
