Gator:Bit Sparkfun DEV14484

The Gator:Bit (SparkFun DEV-14484) is a carrier board for the BBC micro:bit. You slide the micro:bit into its edge connector, and the board brings the micro:bit's pins out to large pads that take alligator clips, so students can connect LEDs, sensors, buzzers and motors without soldering or a breadboard.
