Simply insert the micro:bit horizontally into the edge connector, and all pins are then available as clearly arranged three-pin headers. Sensors, servos, and modules can be connected directly without having to attach individual wires to the gold contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThis makes the board particularly suitable for beginners in lessons and extracurricular activities. The connections are color-coded by signal, positive, and ground, making incorrect connection virtually impossible.
