The Kitronik Prototyping System for the BBC micro:bit provides a ready-made platform for building circuits and experimenting with external components — no soldering required. It combines a pre-built edge connector breakout board with a breadboard and mounting plate, giving you full access to all 21 micro:bit pins for easy prototyping.

The edge connector breakout board breaks out all micro:bit pins to standard pin headers, with SCL and SDA I2C pins separated at the board edge for easy identification. A small prototyping area on the PCB includes 3V, 0V, and unconnected rows that can be soldered to if needed. The included breadboard and jumper wires let you connect sensors, switches, LEDs, and other components without soldering.
