Start having fun with EDU:BIT right out of the box. Start coding right away and see your board light up and play a melody with the press of a button. No wiring required when used as a training kit. Can't control servo motor and play music at the same time on your micro:bit? Does a Servo motor refuse to move correctly? Worry no more! EDU:BIT takes care of these issues with its dedicated controller and power supply. It can even support up to 3 servo motors and 2 DC motors to actuate any creative projects that you build.

Each feature and its associated microbit IO pin is clearly labelled on the board for easy reference. In addition, indicator LEDs are built-in on EDU:BIT to ease troubleshooting for both digital and analogue IO pins.

Ready to build your own projects? You can break off the modules on EDU:BIT board for more flexibility in your project design. Plug-and-play cables are provided for you to connect the broken off Bits to the mainboard.
