Classroom:bit(CR00003)
Introduction
Classroom:bit is a breakout board for micro:bit, it has extended the IO ports on micro:bit in the form of GVS, through which they are availble to connect with all octopus sensors in 3v, such as the LED light, the light sensor, the servos and etc., the buzzer and noise sensor are also loaded on it. The classroom:bit and micro:bit v1.5 has all functions that you can find in micro:bit v2.0.
Characteristics

Main parts
USB Power Cable
Powering through the USB cable is fine(or through a micro:bit), if connecting to servos or other similar devices that need high currency, it's recommended to power through the USB.
GVS
Connect to Octopus sensors in 3V with these bricks, the IIC pins in the middle could connect with OLED display, 8*16 matrix display and the others.
Buzzer and Switch

Quick Start
Connect the micro:bit with this breakout board.
Program
The noisr sensor on this board requires to be drived with the extensions seach with "smarthome" in the makecode and add it.
Note: If you met a notice saying the codebase will be deleted due to incompatibility, you can go forward as the tips say or to create a new project.
Program
Press button A to play the music, the volume displays on the micro:bit in the form of bar graph.
