## AI Product Insights

The Adafruit DragonTail for micro:bit is a **fully assembled edge-connector breakout** that lets you plug a micro:bit into a card-edge socket and bring **every edge pad out to standard 0.1\" header pins**. This makes it easy to use a micro:bit with a **solderless breadboard**, so you can quickly prototype circuits with sensors, LEDs, and other components without alligator clips.

Compatibility-wise, it’s designed for the **BBC micro:bit edge connector** and works with projects needing access to pins including **I2C, SPI, and analogue inputs**. It’s a great fit for breadboard-based electronics, but it **doesn’t replace a micro:bit** (you still need the board), and you’ll also need a **breadboard and jumper wires** to make connections. Some micro:bit pins are shared with the LED matrix/buttons—DragonTail’s **clear pin labelling** helps you pick the right pins and avoid conflicts.

Use it for classroom STEM activities, rapid prototyping, connecting **servos**, building sensor rigs, or driving addressable LEDs (e.g., NeoPixels) from a breadboard layout. Compared with clip-on or alligator-lead approaches, DragonTail is more reliable and gives you access to **all pins** in a tidy, repeatable setup—especially useful when you need the less accessible edge pads.

Suggested add-ons: a solderless breadboard like the [Half-Size Breadboard](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/half-size-breadboard) and jumper leads such as [Premium Jumper Wires](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/premium-jumper-wires). If you’re driving addressable LEDs, pair it with [NeoPixel Strip](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/neopixel-strip), and for motion projects consider a [Micro Servo](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/micro-servo).

## Description

The Adafruit DragonTail for micro:bit breaks out all of the micro:bit's edge connector pads to standard 0.1" headers for easy breadboard use. Simply slot your micro:bit into the card-edge connector and every pin — including I2C, SPI, and analogue inputs — becomes accessible on a solderless breadboard. Every pad is clearly labelled with its name, analogue input capability, and whether it is shared with the LED matrix. Two dedicated power rail pads are also included. The DragonTail comes fully assembled with no soldering required.
