    Board Overview

    IO Ports Description

    • GPIO (3.3V): the IO port power of 3.3V is leaded out from the micro:bit mainboard, so that the driving current is low, and it is suitable for low-power sensors and actuators.
    • GPIO (5V): the IO port power of 5V is directly connected to the power supply, so that the driving ability is strong, and it is suitable for high-power external devices such as servo, and some sensors that can be only powered by 5V.
    • I2C (3.3V): the IO port power of 3.3V is leaded out from the micro:bit mainboard, so that the driving current is low, and it is suitable for low-power sensors and actuators.
    • I2C (5V): the IO port power of 5V is directly connected to the power supply, so that the driving ability is strong, and it is suitable for high-power external devices such as servo, and some sensors that can be only powered by 5V.
