The edge connector extends the microbit by making all the IO ports on micro:bit available. This allows you to add 3V modules like LED light, photocell, and buttons. The yellow row of pins are connected to the microbit and can be used as inputs or outputs. There are also rows of pins for 3v, 5v and ground. The edge connector replaces the need for a breadboard in most projects.
For the 5v pins to work, the micro:bit or edge connecter must be plugged into USB power or you can add a 4 x AA battery pack through the JSP connector on the Edge Connector.
