Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE04832:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. 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 **Please Note: BBC micro:bit, 2 x AAA Battery Cage and 2 x AAA Batteries are NOT included. If you also require a BBC micro:bit, you can order one [here](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html).** This Prototyping System for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to start making circuits and making experiments without the need to solder. This prototyping system uses Kitronik's specially designed Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit that gives full access to the pins on the bottom of the BBC micro:bit. The BBC micro:bit pins are broken out to a row of pin headers, the SCL and SDA pins are separated at the edge of the board providing easy identification. The PCB includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V and unconnected rows that can be soldered to. This allows easy connection of switches, sensors and any pull-up or pull-down resistors etc. as required. This prototyping system is used in conjunction with a Small Prototype Breadboard. This makes it easy to connect additional components using the included jumper wires. No soldering required. ![inventors_kit_for_the_bbc_microbit_description](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/inventors-kit-description.jpg) **Please Note: BBC micro:bit is *NOT* included.** **Note** This kit requires assembly. **Features** - Works with both the [micro:bit V1](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-by-bbc.html) and [micro:bit V2](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) - No soldering is required. - Breaks out 21 pins from the BBC micro:bit using the Pre-built Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit. - Small Prototype Breadboard included so you can use additional components. - Run your own custom code from your BBC micro:bit to interact with external components. **Contents** - 4 x Pan Head M3 Machine Screws. - 1 x Small Prototype Breadboard. - 10 x Jumper Wires Male to Male. - 10 x Jumper Wires Male to Female. - 1 x Perspex Mounting Plate. - 1 x Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit - Pre-built. - 4 x Self-adhesive Rubber Feet. **Requires** - 1 x [BBC micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html). - 1 x Phillips Screwdriver. **Resources** - [Prototyping Plate Assembly Instructions](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5609_prototyping_system_for_the_bbc_micro_bit_assembly_instructions_27381a187bb.pdf). - [Edge Connector Breakout Board Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5601b_built_edge_connector_breakout_board_for_the_bbc_microbit_datasheet_v1_1_50079eb2e9e.pdf). ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/5/6/5609_large_prototyping_system_for_the_bbc_microbit_800x.jpg)
