Enter the exhi:bit – a prototyping and development system for the BBC micro:bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProto-PIC wanted to create a system where a student could go from a prototype board to a finished, more permanent project seamlessly. But importantly, they wanted to create a system where the main workhorse parts could be reused time and time again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhi:bit has an edge connector socket which the micro:bit plugs into. As soon as the micro:bit is plugged in, you are ready to start creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhi:bit has all the micro:bit pins broken out to header connectors, for connection to plugin exhi:bit daughter boards and plugin classroom project boards, but also to generous pads on the edge of the board – so you can connect to your project with conductive thread, banana jacks or crocodile clips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA generous prototyping area is provided for users who wish to create permanent projects, directly onto the exhi:bit or you can use a DIY Daughter board to easily swap projects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esimply add a \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/solderless-breadboard-400-point\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehalf size breadboard\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e(not included)\u003c\/strong\u003e to prototype your circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the circuits you create on your exhi:bit can be powered by using a 5-9V DC power supply \u003cstrong\u003e(not included)\u003c\/strong\u003e or the micro USB port. The micro USB port isn’t intended for programming the micro:bit – they just provided it as a convenient way to power the board. The on-board regulator ensures the voltage is micro:bit friendly. Proto-PIC have now added a raw pin so you can tap the RAW voltage for your devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many times have you opened your drawer to find a board and had no idea what it was for? Three areas on the exhi:bit are provided for taking notes using a sharpie marker or similar, so you can keep track of which project is on which board – or which student has created the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA range of classroom project plug in modules for the exhi:bit will be released soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is the second revision of the exhi:bit, Proto-PIC have removed entirely the acrylic plates and stand offs and instead included 4 rubber feet. They now no longer include the breadboard as many people had requested this in order to lower the cost as they already owned a breadboard. They’ve also added a raw pad to the board so you can power a device directly from the input before it goes through the regulator circuit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proto-PIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35007644618,"sku":"PPMB00101","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/exhibit001.jpg?v=1606462738","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/exhi-bit-prototyping-system-for-micro-bit","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
