Each SparkFun gator:bit can be powered from 2.7V - 9V giving you quite a range of

powering options. There are two ways of powering your gator:bit, either from the JST

battery terminal or the alligator clip pads labeled “VIN”. Any voltage input between 2.7V

and 9V will be regulated to 3.3V to power the micro:bit, the speaker, and for use by any

of the alligator clip pins.

Even without any external hardware the gator:bit is still an exploratory development

board for micro:bit allowing the easiest access to it for educators, beginners, and pro-

makers alike.

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that lets you get creative with digital

technology. Between the micro:bit and our shield-like bit boards you can do almost

anything while coding, customizing and controlling your micro:bit from almost anywhere!

You can use your micro:bit for all sorts of unique creations, from robots to musical

instruments and more. At half the size of a credit card, this versatile board has vast

potential!

Note: The SparkFun gator:bit does NOT include a micro:bit board. The micro:bit will

need to be purchased separately.
