SparkFun gator:log - micro:bit Accessory Board

The SparkFun gator:log - micro:bit Accessory Board is a revolutionary data logging tool, designed to automate the data collection process. It eliminates the need for manual recording of data, allowing you to focus solely on your experiment. The gator:log works seamlessly with a micro:bit, providing a graphical display for real-time data observation. It can also be used with the gator:RTC for time-based experiments, offering precise timing results.

The gator:log is an excellent tool for students, enabling them to concentrate on the experiment rather than the sensor readouts. It simplifies the data collection process, making it an ideal educational tool for classrooms and laboratories. The gator:log can also be used in conjunction with the gator:RTC, eliminating the need for stopwatches and ensuring more accurate timing results.

The micro:bit is a compact, versatile computer that allows for endless creativity with digital technology. Paired with our shield-like bit boards, you can code, customize, and control your micro:bit from almost anywhere. From robots to musical instruments, the possibilities with the micro:bit are limitless. Despite being half the size of a credit card, the micro:bit offers immense potential.

The gator:log comes with several notable features:

• An ATmega328P microcontroller
• A micro SD card slot for data storage
• Two status indicator LEDs
• Serial connection via RX and TX pads
• GND and 3V3 pads for 3.3V power connection
