What Is It
The car shield bridges the micro:bit with a series of Grove Zero modules to extend the functions of micro:bit. The shield incorporates a battery, a buzzer and 4 RGB LEDs, as well as a GND and P2 connection ports which are same as those of the micro:bit.
How It Works
Slide the micro:bit into the car shield, then the shield becomes an amazing G0 control board that is able to control G0 modules through a snap-together connection. Besides, the control board itself comes with a built-in buzzer, addressable RGB LEDs and a rechargeable battery.
Only use the 5V micro USB cable for charging the li-ion battery, not for the micro:bit!
