While many breadboard adapters exist for the micro:bit, they frequently have one key shortcoming that we have addressed in our design related to power supply management. The micro:bit only provides 90 mA of current when powered directly from the battery pack, useful for a single micro servo. In our design, the micro:bit battery pack connects directly to the Edge I\/O adapter to power both the micro:bit and breadboard accessories directly (with as much current as the batteries can provide). This is particularly important when using multiple motors, LEDs and sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact board breaks out all of the micro:bit I\/O pins in sequential order, and includes power connections for the two most common types of breadboards. It is fully compatible with micro:bit version 1.5 and micro:bit version 2 modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParallax has designed this board and is developing curriculum support in partnership with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cyber.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCYBER.ORG\u003c\/a\u003e, the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge I\/O Adapter Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80-way card edge connector, compatible with the BBC micro:bit module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual 2-pin, 0.1” headers connect power and ground to the breadboard's power rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-way 0.1” header connects every micro:bit I\/O to the breadboard, along with a a 3 V reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJST socket for connecting of the micro:bit standard battery pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePass-through power from the Edge I\/O Adapter JST socket to the micro:bit power input with reverse polarity and dual voltage source protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge I\/O Adapter \u003c\/strong\u003eBoard Revision Notice:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe (+) and (-) power rail header pin positions have been swapped between Rev A (blue modules) and Rev B \u0026amp; C (black modules).
