Frequently asked about this product
Which mainboards does the micro:bit Robot Expansion Board stack onto?
The micro:bit Robot Expansion Board follows the standard shield pinout, so it stacks directly onto Arduino UNO R3 and compatible boards (including our own UNO-compatible controllers) and lines up with the same footprint on larger Mega-class boards. All I/O is level-tolerant across 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
What voltage does the micro:bit Robot Expansion Board run on?
The micro:bit Robot Expansion Board runs from a standard 3.3-5 V DC supply (USB or the controller’s 5 V rail). It draws only a few milliamps in normal operation, so it is safe to power from the controller board itself for classroom builds.
What projects is the micro:bit Robot Expansion Board good for?
The micro:bit Robot Expansion Board is built for STEM and robotics education: classroom demonstrations, science-fair projects, robotics club builds and competition robots. It pairs with the rest of our module range — same connectors, same voltage, same toolchain — so students move from first circuit to competition robot without changing platforms.
What certification do the robotics and electronics products carry?
Controller boards, sensors and modules ship with CE marking and RoHS-compliant components, and the range is designed for classroom use under teacher supervision. Product-specific test reports and declarations of conformity are available for distributors on request.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I get a sample first?
These are standard catalogue lines with stable production, so minimums are low and lead times are short. Samples ship within about a week and are normally credited against a first order. Mixed-SKU cartons are accepted for evaluation orders.
