micro:bit interface for XinaBox chips with SD card slot

The IM01 xChip interface  allows you to connect xChips with the BBC micro:bit. It provides: 

• I2C Interface to xChips
• UART/Serial interface to our CW01 WiFi module, allowing you to connect your micro:bit to the cloud.
• SD Card Interface allowing you to read and write data to a SD card from the Micro:Bit.
• Blue/Green LED allowing you to show status updates without using the 25 Red LEDs on the micro:bit.
• USB Power up to 1000 mA allowing to power heavy circuits, especially WiFi based circuits, which are notorious power hungry.
• Power LED indicating that your IM01 is on, and if inserted, if your Micro:Bit is on.
• xPDI interface allowing you to program other core xChips, such as CC03, CS11, CW03, and more, using just your IM01.

Also have a look at our free enclosure designer, http://box.xinabox.cc, which now allows you to make an enclosure for you IM01 + Micro:Bit.

XinaBox is pronounced as  X-in-a-Box!

The XinaBox range currently includes over 80 sensors, bridges, cores, interfaces and other types of peripherals, and it is growing all the time. These ‘xChips’ will help you to super-charge your BBC micro:bit:

 The connection - plug and play, no wire

Build simple and complex circuits quickly and easily. The modular system allows you to connect xChips like building blocks - anyone can build a circuit in seconds, with no need for soldering irons, breadboards or consumables. And when you are done, disassemble the circuit and start again! It takes seconds when you know how.
