BitMaker is an expansion board for micro:bit. It is designed for micro:bit users to discover cool and amazing functions of micro:bit. It's very easy to use - you just have to slide it into the micro:bit and then connect your chosen Grove module to a connection port. If you haven't heard of Grove before, Grove is a Seeed Studio series which you can read more about here.
BitMaker has an inbuilt programmable RGB LED and a buzzer to allow beginners to extend their micro:bit projects even before they add additional modules.
If you wish to start out adding Grove modules, we recommend that you buy a BitGadget Kit which includes a BitMaker and 9 different Grove modules! This is a nice choice for micro:bit intermediate learners to carry out their micro:bit experiments.
