DFRobot micro:Mate micro:bit Breakout Board

micro:Mate is a tiny micro:bit I/O expansion board for learning electronics and building DIY projects.

micro:Mate expands 6 sets of 3-pin I/O interfaces, capable of connecting DFRobot Gravity series or ELECFREAKS Octopus modules, servo motors, sensors and jumper wires. Additionally, Pin 8, 12, 16 support voltage switch between 3V-5V, allowing up to 5V 2A digital (PWM) output.

micro:Mate has the same dimension as the micro:bit. It connects to micro:bit through contact pins (that are spring loaded), ensuring an easy, compact and secure connection. The rubber bumpers and the 3.5mm audio jack on the back side keep the expansion board stable, while preventing reversed connections.

Note:The mounting screws should be tightened well to ensure a secured connection.

micro:Mate supports only 3V (3.3V) analog input from Pin 0, 1, 2. The Micro USB power port on Micro:Mate cannot be used for data transmission. Components with large power consumption should be connected to Pin 8, 12, 16, with 5V power supply.
