PiicoDev® Adapter for Micro:bit

This is the hardware repo for the PiicoDev® Adapter for Micro:bit

Connect your Micro:bit with the outside world using PiicoDev® Adapter for Micro:bit. With this adapter you can experiment with sensors from the PiicoDev range giving your Micro:bit new sensing abilities. Use the on-board PiicoDev connectors to quickly and easily connect with the PiicoDev family of sensor modules without soldering.

  • Connect new sensors to your Micro:bit
  • No soldering necessary
  • Crocodile clip connections are broken out again, so you can still hand wire to your Micro:bit
  • PiicoDev connectors, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
  • Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics
