SparkFun Qwiic Breakout for micro:bit

SparkFun Qwiic Breakout for micro:bit adds Qwiic (I2C) connectivity to the micro:bit, with two Qwiic connectors and all 21 GPIO pins broken out to 0.1-inch pin spacing. The board measures 43 mm high, 33 mm wide and 15 mm deep, and weighs 12 gm.

Overview

The SparkFun Qwiic Breakout for micro:bit is designed to bridge the micro:bit and the Qwiic ecosystem. It allows the micro:bit to be paired with a range of Qwiic-ready sensors, motors, LEDs and breadboards using a standardised I2C connection system, reducing the need for soldering when prototyping.

Key Features

• Two Qwiic connectors (I2C) supporting daisy-chaining of multiple I2C devices
• Breaks out all 21 GPIO pins, along with power and ground pins
• 0.1-inch pin spacing for compatibility with standard breadboards and prototyping hardware
• Integrated micro:bit Edge connector for a secure and reliable connection to the micro:bit
• Compact dimensions of 43 mm x 33 mm x 15 mm

Applications

Suitable for robotics projects, environmental monitoring and educational experiments, this breakout simplifies wiring and speeds up workflow. It is intended for educators, hobbyists and developers who want quick, modular prototyping without complex soldering.

Please Note

The micro:bit is not included with this breakout board. The breakout is intended to work with a micro:bit.
