Breadboard Setup and Testing for micro:bit

What it’s about

In these activities, you will set up and test your breadboard prototyping system for your micro:bit module.  Along the way, you will learn some important circuit building and measuring skills.

Before you start

You will need:

• A What’s a Microcontroller with Python and micro:bit kit (Parallax #32750).
• A computer with a Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser and available USB 2.0 compatible port

Complete these tutorials first:

• Get Started with micro:bit and Python
• Writing micro:bit programs
• Computer – micro:bit Talk

After You Finish

You will be able to:

• Connect wires and part leads together with a breadboard
• Build circuits on a breadboard
• Test for proper electrical connections, supply levels, and even part values

You will also be ready to move on to the next tutorial (coming soon!)
