Pin Connections:

Speaker: Pin 0 (*)

Dial: Pin 0 (*)

Joystick X: Pin 1

Joystick Y: Pin 2

Joystick button: Pin 8

Neopixels: Pin 13

Red Button: Pin 12

Yellow Button: Pin 16

Green Button: Pin 14

Blue Button: Pin 15

(*) Pin 0 is used both for Speaker output (using the Music or Tone output methods) as well as the Dial analog input. This causes some compromises - most notable of which is that the Dial analog input cannot reach its normal maximum value of 1023 and stops at around 850 instead. As long as the software understands this, then it shouldn't be a problem.

NB. The Bit:Commander is only powered if batteries are fitted and it is switched on. Powering the micro:bit does not power the Bit:Commander. However, when the Bit:Commander is powered up, then it will also power the micro:bit

The Bit:Commander is a great device for powering and experimenting with the BBC micro:bit.
