{"title":"Kitronik Prototyping System for the BBC micro:bit","handle":"5609-prototyping-system-for-the-bbc-microbit","url":"/products/5609-prototyping-system-for-the-bbc-microbit","description":"The Kitronik Prototyping System for the BBC micro:bit provides a ready-made platform for building circuits and experimenting with external components — no soldering required. It combines a pre-built edge connector breakout board with a breadboard and mounting plate, giving you full access to all 21 micro:bit pins for easy prototyping.\n\nThe edge connector breakout board breaks out all micro:bit pins to standard pin headers, with SCL and SDA I2C pins separated at the board edge for easy identification. A small prototyping area on the PCB includes 3V, 0V, and unconnected rows that can be soldered to if needed. The included breadboard and jumper wires let you connect sensors, switches, LEDs, and other components without soldering.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nFull Pin Access – All 21 micro:bit pins broken out to standard headers\n\nNo Soldering Required – Breadboard and jumper wire setup for quick prototyping\n\nPre-Built Breakout Board – Edge connector ready to accept the micro:bit\n\nI2C Pins Separated – SCL and SDA clearly identified at the board edge\n\nOnboard Prototyping Area – Solderable rows with 3V, 0V, and unconnected pads\n\nMounting Plate – Keeps everything organised and secure\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nLearning electronics with the BBC micro:bit\nConnecting external sensors, LEDs, and motors\nClassroom STEM activities\nPrototyping micro:bit projects before building permanent circuits\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Edge Connector Breakout Board for BBC micro:bit (pre-built)\n1× Small Prototype Breadboard\n10× Male-to-Male Jumper Wires\n10× Male-to-Female Jumper Wires\n1× Mounting Plate\n4× Pan Head M3 Machine Screws\n\n\n\nNote: BBC micro:bit, battery cage, and batteries are not included.
