SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout (with Headers)

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!
