Sadly, the lack of contiguous I/O pins, say, P0--P7--on the micro:bit board limits its use in many experiments that require 8-bit ports. We can disable the LED matrix with display.off(). Is there a way to do something similar for the A and B pushbuttons?

The pins which have the buttons attached have a 10k pull up resistor on them. This may make them unsuitable for your electronics
