A great Base for your allowing easy connection of power and signal and directly able to plug in Micro:Bit or Raspberry Pi Zero

These bases have been especially designed to accept all 3 sizes of and provide a simple method of powering them.

Because a lot of LEDs uses a lot of power, neither the micro:bit nor the Raspberry Pi can power them directly. We therefore provide this base plate that allows you to connect the 5V power in 4 different ways:

1. DC Jack using a standard 2.1mm (centre positive) DC Jack you can simply plug in a
2. Micro USB connector. Get yourself a high power USB power supply (such as the official ) and simply plug it in
3. Crocodile/alligator clip positions allow you to connect power and signal using - eg from a Crumble, MicroBit or similar
4. GVS pins allow you to take a standard and plug it directly in. Eg from an Arduino sensor shield or directly from a 4duino Pro

There is a 40pin GPIO header that you can plug a into and it will be powered from the 5V and connect on GPIO 12 (pin 18) to the Neopixel array. This is the standard pin for driving Neopixels on the Raspberry Pi. Note that there isn't room to fit a full-size Raspberry Pi (though with a GPIO cable you could do that as well)

There is also a connector so you can plug your micro:bit straight in. This is powered via the 3.3V voltage regulator from the 5V so no separate power is required for the micro:bit. This connects on Pin 0 to the Cube:Bit pixels.

As you can see, an extremely flexible and useful addition to your
