Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Connecting extra sensors and devices to the Micro:bit is easier than ever with our PiicoDev Platform for Micro:bit! Tired of all the loose bits of your project sliding around on your desk? This platform, when used with an adapter, secures your project and allows quick and easy connections to the PiicoDev family of sensors without soldering. **This platform fits a Micro:bit (v2 or v1) plugged into a PiicoDev Adapter for Micro:bit** To make the most of your PiicoDev Platform, we recommend picking up a [PiicoDev Adapter for Micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev-adapter-for-micro-bit.html), some [Alligator jumper wires](https://core-electronics.com.au/alligator-clip-with-pigtail-10-pack.html), and a [breadboard](https://core-electronics.com.au/solderless-breadboard-300-tie-points-zy-60.html). Get started by following the [PiicoDev Mounting Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/PiicoDev/piicodev-mounting-guide/), which covers how to mount PiicoDev modules to your platform. **Parts Included** - 1 Prototyping Platform for Micro:bit - Nylon mounting hardware - screws, nuts, standoffs - Rubber feet Also available are [PiicoDev Starter Kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1322) - level up your projects by learning how to use a wide range of modern sensors and outputs. **PiicoDev Overview** [PiicoDev](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html) is a [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/skin/frontend/white/default/images/ce_original_blue.png)](https://core-electronics.com.au/original) ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes: - [Starter Kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1322) - [Sensors](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1380) - [Outputs](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1381) - [Adaptors & Expansion Boards](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1307) - [Platforms](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1310) - [Cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1309) - [Accessories](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1323) Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev: - **Unified MicroPython libraries.** The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms. - **Simple-and-expandable connections.** Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects. - **Breakout pins.** Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses. - **Consistent size.** We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with. - **Creative freedom.** Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience. PiicoDev modules are designed by our team in Newcastle and manufactured in Australia and overseas. They’re made for makers and educators alike — affordable, reliable, and easy to use.
