Using External Sensors
Wappsto:bit will work with virtually all 3,3V sensors compatible with the BBC micro:bit.
They will however have to be fitted onto the Wappsto:bit using standard female DuPont jumper Cables.
Pinheaders on the Wappsto:bit correspond 1:1 with the BBC micro:bit pin layout

all up to you!
What if I run out of measurements?
If you run out of measurements, we’ll stop the flow for you.
Then you can either wait until next month for more free measurements, or
purchase additional.
If you need more measurements, then you’re probably a professional user and will
have to pay a subscription fee, depending on your usage.
Make your Wappsto:bit mobile with NB-IoT!
40.000 measurements a month starting at 2,50 EUR.
