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:

BBC micro:bit Board Only
The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized codeable computer with motion detection, a built-in compass, LED display, and Bluetooth technology built in. It measures 4cm by 5cm, is available in a range of colours, and designed to be fun and easy to use. It can be coded with something simple in seconds – like lighting up its LEDs or displaying a pattern – with no prior knowledge of computing. It also connects to other devices, sensors, kits and objects, and is a companion to Arduino, Galileo, Kano, littleBits and Raspberry Pi, acting as a spring board to more complex learning. Each element is completely programmable via easy-to-use software on a dedicated website (www.microbit.co.uk) that can be accessed from a PC, tablet or mobile.

Low voltage relay for micro:bit (solid state)
The MonkMakes Relay for the BBC microbit is a solid-state (no moving parts) relay that allows an output of a micro:bit to turn things on and off.  A micro:bit can turn an LED on and off directly, but anything more powerful requires something like a relay or a transistor. Using a transistor to switch something on and off requires a shared ground connection with the micro:bit and a knowledge of electronics that you or your students may not be ready for. The MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit is much easier to use, acting like a simple micro:bit controlled switch. This relay can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the relay will automatically protect itself against too much current. Features: Solid-state relay (No moving parts). Resettable polyfuse to protect against over-current. 2A Maximum current. 16V Maximum voltage. Integrated active LED power indicator. Contents: 1 x MonkMakes Relay Board for the BBC micro:bit. Dimensions: Length: 59.3mm. Width: 49mm. Height: 1.6mm. Requires: BBC micro:bit. Crocodile Leads.

ZIP Halo for the BBC micro:bit
Add some colour to your next coding project with our new Halo board for the BBC micro:bit. The Halo has 24 ZIP LEDs, which are individually addressable full colour LEDs. This means that each LED can display a huge spectrum of colours, allowing amazing colourful effects to be achieved.  The Halo bolts directly onto the BBC micro:bit using five bolts which are secure and robust. The board also has extension connector pads (0.1 pitch) allowing more ZIP LEDs to be connected. The P1 and P2 micro:bit pins are also broken out to 0.1" pads along with power and GND. This allows for additional connections to low power components such as sensors and switches. The Halo takes a supply voltage of 3.5V-5V and provides a regulated power supply to BBC micro:bit. Power can be connected using the JST input using a 3xAAA battery holder, or LiPo battery, or JST lead. Alternatively you can solder a power supply directly to the solder pads on the PCB. The LEDs used are based on the WS2812B part which is compatible with any WS2812B driver code. They can also be coded in the MakeCode Block/Javascript editor. Features: Halo has 24 individually addressable ZIP LEDs. Compatible with Adafruit NeoPixel and other WS2812B driver code. Supply voltage: 3.5V to 5V. Halo bolts directly onto the BBC micro:bit. The board also has extension connector pads. Contents: 1 x Halo for the BBC micro:bit. 5 x Counter Sunk M3 x6mm Screws. Dimensions: Diameter: 80mm. Height: 3.2mm Height With micro:bit: 10mm. PCB Thickness: 1.5mm.

Moisture Sensor for micro:bit
The moisture sensor for micro:bit allows your micro:bit to detect moisture, so if your plant is thirsty you'll know about it! or how about using one and a couple of micro:bits to tell you when your bath has reached the correct level? To hook this up to your micro bit you will require alligator cables alternatively you can solder headers or a screw terminal to the board to make hooking it up to your other micro controller projects a dream.

MI:power board for the BBC micro:bit V1
The MI:power board for the BBC micro:bit brings real portability to your wearable projects. The stylish, lightweight PCB is designed to fit snugly against the BBC micro:bit and features a built in buzzer and 3V coin cell holder. When assembled, the MI:power board is connected directly to the 3V, GND and P0 connections on the micro:bit. The 3V and GND connections provide power to the micro:bit and the built in buzzer is connected to P0, which is the default output pin when using the audio functions in the Block Editor software. The board has an easy to access on/off switch, which makes it easy to turn a project on and off, rather than have to disconnect the power supply from the BBC micro:bit. Once the unit is assembled and attached to the BBC micro:bit the mechanical fixings prevent the battery from being removed unless you use a screwdriver, so whatever the use, the battery will remain safely in place. Spacers, fixings and a battery are all provided.  Please Note: BBC micro:bit is NOT included. Features: Power your BBC micro:bit from a stylish PCB. On-Board buzzer. Easy access on/off switch.
