SparkFun gator:bit
DEV-14484 ROHS
The SparkFun gator:bit is an all-in-one “carrier” board for your micro:bit that provides
you with a fully functional development and prototyping platform. Almost every pin on
the micro:bit is broken out to pads that alligator (or crocodile, if you prefer) clips so you
can get the most out of it! Whether it is data visualization using the five on-board
addressable LEDs, capacitive touch sensing on pins 0, 1, & 2, or creating musical works
of art using the built-in speaker we’ve got it covered with the with the SparkFun
gator:bit!
The major benefit of gator:bit that we have provided is safe access to as many GPIO as
possible from the micro:bit. Not only are pins 0, 1, 2, 8, 16, 5 (Button A), and 11 (Button
B) broken out, but they are also protected against over voltage and over current/short
circuit. Pins 0, 1, and 2 are ADC pins and are also the capacitive touch pins. Pins 8, 16,
5, and 11 are digital pins capable of read and write. Additionally, pins 13 (SPI), 14(SPI),
15(SPI), 19 (I
2
C), and 20 (I
2
C) can be used to read and write whatever digital signals
you could want. We go into much more detail about each pin and other attributes (like
supplying voltage out, light, and sound) in the SparkFun gator:bit Guide found below.
