The SparkFun gator:color ProtoSnap is a gator-clip-friendly LED board designed to work directly with the BBC micro:bit. It features six snap-apart LED boards in multiple colours that can be used as a complete panel or broken apart for individual placement in your project.

Power the LEDs simply by connecting to 3V and GND on the micro:bit, or connect to pins 0, 1, and 2 for programmable on/off control and adjustable brightness levels. The ProtoSnap includes power tabs broken out on the edges, so you can test all LEDs before snapping the boards apart.
