## Description

From the creative engineers at KittenBot, this plug-in add on for the micro:bit expands your 'bit to add a bunch more hardware to play with. It's a great expansion shield that breaks out all the IO pins (inputs, outputs), and also adds some extras to make your next bit project shine.

**Features**:

- All pins are brought out to 0.1" headers that are color coded black for ground, red for power, and yellow for signal. You can breadboard easily by [matching up with these premium header jumpers](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=premium%20female%20jumper)
- On-board buzzer: you can use the music module in MakeCode to play music, and now you'll get audible beeps! If you want to use headphones, a 3.5mm audio connector on the board is available as well.
- Two LEGO-compatible pin holes for easy assembly and integration.
- 5 x alligator clip gold pads, the same as the ones on the micro:bit
- USB connector with on/off push button switch so you can turn projects on and off - the micro:bit doesn't have a switch which means unplugging instead, this is easier!
- Includes 1A self-recovery fuse to help keep your projects protected

**Please Note:** this is only the shield - [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=bbc%20micro%3Abit%20computer) is not included
