This Microbit expansion board has good performance, supports a variety of sensors, and is relatively easy to use. I encountered some minor problems in the project, but the customer service responded quickly and helped me solve them.
Only shortcoming is that the documentation is not detailed enough, and I hope there will be more sample code

Alberto Morales
Exceeded my expectations

Its interface design is very user-friendly, and the connection between various modules is very smooth. My son has used it to create several projects, including a simple temperature monitor and a small robot, each of which can be easily completed.

The relevant tutorial documents are detailed and easy to understand, and the email technical support is also very active. For all students who want to learn programming and electronics, this expansion board is definitely a good choice!

Astrid Aas

I am very satisfied with this Microbit expansion board.

Its design is very thoughtful and can be easily connected to multiple sensors and peripherals, greatly expanding the application range of Microbit. As a programming education tool, this expansion board is undoubtedly a must-have. Whether it is function or stability, it deserves five star.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Can the battery be recharged directly from the shield? If not, what is the best way to recharge the battery?

    Yes. It can be recharged directly from the shield by Micro USB cable.

  • I had some issues with a V2 microbit. The hex file for V2 in the github repo didn't work - but the file downloaded from this web page does. Since it has no version or data it's not obvious to see that they are different. Please update the repo

    Please contact us by E-maill, support@yahboom.com

  • I have try to use 5 sensor line tracking sensor for this expansion board but not working fine. It's to delayed read sensor data to control line following robot. How I can solve this issue.

    Hello Friend,
    Thanks for your support to Yahboom product.
    Could you contact us by E-mail support@yahboom.com
    Our Technical Support will reply you ASAP.

  • I tried the Super:Bit expansion board. It was great. However, i tried the SCL and SDA (pins on the top left of Super:Bit) to the LCD 16X2 I2C module. And i connected to 5V and GND of Super:Bit at the bottom left of Super:Bit. I could not get the LCD to display "Hello World". Is there anything that i missed here?

    Thanks for your question.
    Could you contact our Technical Support by E-mail? support@yahboom.com
    He will help you to solve the problem ASAP.

  • Hello, is there a way to get 5v output to motor drive on this board? I have the programmable building block Red Motor(A02) which can run 3-5v and I want higher power output from motor.

    Yes, you can get 5v output to motor drive on this board.

  • Is there a lastest version of the super:bit hex file for micropython. I’m getting 529error on my microbit after flashing the hex file.

    Hello, 
    Thanks for your question.
    The reason for this problem is that due to the upgrade of the Microbit V2 board, there are still some problems in IIC communication.
    Now our Python library files are compatible with Microbit V2. 
    Please download new Python file on our website. Link: http://www.yahboom.net/study/Super:bit

  • I need a schematic diagram. Is it available?

    Hello friend,
    Tell me your E-mail, i will send file to you. can't send here.

  • Superbit is compatible with K210 Visual module?

    Hello friend, K210 Visual module use serial communication, and the superbit expansion board supports serial communication. In theory, they can be connected, but we do not provide relevant tutorials.

  • Can I use 5V sensors and can those be powered from 5V extended interface? Do I need to place logici level converter between data lines?

    Hello friend,
    Sorry for late reply. There was some time difference between us, so I didn't reply to you in time.
    Yes, you can use 5V sensor.
