  1. But where can I find edge connectors to fit it? 80-way 0.05″ un-keyed edge connectors are like hen’s teeth. Why on earth didn’t they use something readily available off the shelf…

    1. Looks like Maplin are starting to sell breakout boards for it. The edge connector choice seems a bit strange but I think the main requirement was that it was easy for kids to hook up wires. The small/large pin arrangement does make this easier but with the side effect that it is a bit quirky from a component point of view.

  2. Kitronik sell an “Inventor’s Kit” for the micro_bit that includes a patch panel and lets you mount the micro:bit on its (included) socket. All you have to add is the micro:bit itself. Probably worth it if you want to get started with hardware hacking, though none of the documentation includes Python.
