SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout (with Headers)

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 Prototyping

We designed this version of the breakout for immediate, plug-and-play use so you can accelerate your design process without ever touching a soldering iron.

• Pre-Soldered GPIO: All 21 micro:bit GPIO pins are broken out to pre-soldered male headers, allowing you to drop the board straight into a standard breadboard.
• Dedicated Power: Power and ground connections are conveniently broken out to a pre-soldered 0.1-inch header.

Qwiic Expandability

Additionally, the board features two individual Qwiic Connectors. This gives you instant access to our entire ecosystem of daisy-chainable I²C devices. Please note that the BBC micro:bit itself is not included with this breakout and must be purchased separately.

If you would like a micro:bit breakout without headers already soldered on, be sure to check out this board's sibling.
