Breakout board (pin:bit)
Pimoroni pin:bit, edge connector breakout for the Micro:bit by Pimoroni ↗
The Micro:bit slides in, and its pins come out on a row of legs for the breadboard.
In our class
2Use it
| Pin or leg | What it is for |
|---|---|
| P0 to P16, P19, P20 | one leg for each Micro:bit pin, named on the board |
| 3V, GND | power for small parts on the breadboard |
- Slide the Micro:bit in all the way, the same way round as the labels.
- Push its row of legs into the breadboard: each leg gets its own column.
- Read the label of each leg: the order is not the same on every breakout board.
Good to know: Breakout boards from other makers put the pins in another order: look at the labels.
