Data Sheet

Introduction: The STOP:bit is a bolt-on/clip-on board for the BBC micro:bit
replicating a traffic light. The PCB has been designed to have the same physical
features of a traffic light, with the addition of a BBC micro:bit as the pedestrian
crossing control box.

Connection: x5 M3 countersunk screws allow
the user to bolt the STOP:bit onto the BBC
micro:bit.
Crocodile clips also can be used between the
pads on the STOP:bit and the matching pads
on the BBC micro:bit.
Stand: The bottom section of the STOP:bit PCB
is designed to break off and then slot together
with the main PCB to form a stable cross base.
Power: Power is supplied from the BBC micro:bit connections
3V (Not connected)
