Kitronik MI:power Board

The Kitronik MI:power board for the BBC micro:bit adds real portability to your wearable projects. This sleek and lightweight printed circuit board (PCB) is precisely designed to fit tightly against the BBC micro:bit. It comes with a built - in buzzer and a 3V coin cell holder. Once assembled, it directly connects to the 3V, GND, and P0 ports on the micro:bit. The 3V and GND connections supply power to the micro:bit, and the built - in buzzer links to P0, which is the default output pin for audio functions in the Block Editor software. The board features an easy - to - reach on/off switch, allowing you to conveniently start and stop your projects without disconnecting the power from the BBC micro:bit. After assembly and attachment to the micro:bit, mechanical fixings ensure the battery stays in place unless you use a screwdriver. Spacers, fixings, and a battery are all included.

Using the Kitronik MI:power board is easy. First, assemble the board by connecting it to the 3V, GND, and P0 connections on your BBC micro:bit. Once it's assembled and attached, you can power on your project using the on/off switch. There's no need to mess around with disconnecting the power supply. When using the audio functions, the built - in buzzer will work through the P0 connection. Remember, the battery is secured by mechanical fixings. If you need to remove the battery, you'll have to use a screwdriver. To keep your board in good shape, avoid exposing it to water or extreme temperatures. And always handle it gently to prevent any damage to the PCB or the built - in components.
