   Now that the Raspberry Pi 3 has built-in Bluetooth the micro:bit is a really nice compliment to it for projects that want to use the LED matrix display, remote sensors, or the provided accelerometer/compass. We definitely see the two p

    It's the VideoCore JTAG header used for debug and development - it's not intended for end user use.

    We will be sourcing the 2.5A power supply but it really is only necessary for very power hungry setups!

    The I2S interface is still present on the 40-pin GPIO as per the Pi2 and B+.
