This breakout board for the micro:bit’s edge connector allows intermediate and advanced users to connect the micro:bit to breadboards and other sensors, motors, LEDs and more! The micro:bit on its own has three digital/analog input/output rings available for you to use initially with alligator clips. With the micro:bit breakout we have broken out all 21 GPIO pins, power and ground to a pre-soldered 0.1" header. With this breakout you will be able to unlock the full potential of your micro:bit! 3. 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)[1](https://core-electronics.com.au/#Note1) **Note:** There is no [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) included with this breakout; it will need to be purchased separately. If you would like a micro:bit breakout without headers already soldered on, be sure to check out [this board’s sibling](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=13988).
