Description from the creator

I connected this icstation signal generator to an Arduino before (youtu.be/1gkhW2-eBPA), but wanted to connect to it to a 3.3V core device to show how 5V and 3V devices can work together.

Here I show some Python code for the micro:bit and for the Raspberry Pi (both 3V core), and also describe how the level shifter hardware works.

Code for this video:

Application note with interesting explanation of the MOSFET 5V to 3V level shifter:

Obviously, shop around on ebay etc to find the best price, but the ones in this video I got from Aliexpress (about 5 for a £1)
