The Kitronik :VIEW Text32 is a character LCD Screen showing 32 characters (2 lines of 16 characters). It also breaks out the BBC micro:bit pins to edge pads (excluding pin14).
The board features a replicated microbit edge connector allowing you to plug the :VIEW Text32 into any board that a microbit itself can be slotted into. You can slot the BBC micro:bit into the edge connector on the top side of the PCB. Installation requires no additional tools; the board is ready to use — simply plug in and play/work!
The board also features an on-board 3 x AAA battery holder that powers the display, the microbit, and the replicated edge connector. There is a power switch that allows you to turn the battery supply on and off. The replicated edge connector has a current capacity of 90mA. (as per the normal micro:bit)
Kitronik has created custom code blocks for the MakeCode editor to make using the :VIEW Text32 as simple as possible.
