Power for micro:bit Board, 3.3V Regulated Output

The Power for micro:bit board is a versatile and indispensable accessory for any micro:bit enthusiast or educator. It provides a reliable and flexible way to power your micro:bit projects, moving beyond standard USB or battery connections. Whether you are creating a permanent installation or a complex project that needs a steady power source, this board simplifies the process by converting a wide range of input voltages into a clean, regulated 3.3V output.

This board accepts power from a variety of sources, including AC/DC adaptors and solar panels, making it perfect for both mains-powered projects and renewable energy applications. Simply connect a 6V AC/DC adaptor (not included) via the standard 2.1mm DC barrel jack (positive centre), and the board will convert it to a stable 3.3V for your micro:bit. The output is delivered via a JST connector, ensuring a secure connection.
