The :GAME ™64 is a programmable gamepad for the BBC micro:bit. It features
64 colour addressable LEDs arranged in an 8 x 8 display, a piezo buzzer for audio
feedback, a vibration motor for haptic feedback, and 6 input buttons. It also
breaks out P19, P20 & LED DOUT to standard 0.1” footprints. Each of these pins
also have the required voltage and GND pads. The BBC micro:bit is connected via
a standard card slot connector.
The board produces a regulated supply that is fed into the 3V and GND
connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit, removing the need to
power the BBC micro:bit separately. To protect the BBC micro:bit if power is
supplied through it, the ™ LEDs will not illuminate.
