The Kitronik Breadboard Breakout for the BBC micro:bit lets you plug a BBC micro:bit into a standard 2.54mm pitch breadboard. Two 11-pin headers are used to make connections into the breadboard. Works with micro:bit v1, v2, CLUE, HiFive Inventor, and other boards with the same edge connector.
The micro:bit slots into the familiar edge connector on the top side of the PCB. No extra tools are required for installation. The front of the BBC micro:bit (the side with the LEDs 😉 should be inserted facing the same side as the 3V pin.
The PCB is designed to plug across the middle slot of a breadboard, the same placement as an IC component. It’s a very slim and compact arrangement.
Features:
micro:bit’s pins are broken out to 2×11 header pins
Use jumper wires to connect from the header pins to the rest of your circuitry

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
