ElecFreaks micro:bit Tinker Kit: build your projects with bricks

The micro:bit Tinker Kit consists of a micro:bit-compatible Octopus breadboard, a micro-B USB cable for connecting your micro:bit board (not included in this kit) to a computer, plus various components including an OLED display and a mini servo.

It comes with 9 “Octopus” bricks that you can connect simply to the P0 port of your Octopus breakout board.
