SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout

The BBC micro:bit is a fantastic learning tool but its standard three alligator-clip rings can quickly limit your projects. The SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout is designed to completely expand the capabilities of your development platform. By interfacing directly with the micro:bit's edge connector this board provides full access to advanced communication protocols such as I2C and SPI enabling intermediate and advanced users to connect to a wider range of sensors motors and displays.Plug-and-Play PrototypingWe designed this version of the breakout for makers who need complete control over their hardware setup. It comes without any headers pre-soldered to the 21 GPIO pins or power connections.Custom Connections: Solder your own specific connectors utilize right-angle headers or solder wires directly to the board for a permanent low-profile installation.Full Pin Access: All 21 micro:bit GPIO pins plus power and ground are broken out to standard 0.1-inch spacing.Qwiic ExpandabilityEven without the traditional headers you still get immediate plug-and-play I2C functionality. The board features two pre-installed Qwiic Connectors giving you instant access to our entire ecosystem of daisy-chainable devices. Please note that the BBC micro:bit itself is not included with this bare breakout and must be purchased separately.If you would like a micro:bit breakout with headers already soldered on be sure to check out this board's sibling.
