sorry if my query sounds odd. I am trying to determine whether my micro:bit will be affected badly if I did the following:

I have the GND wire of it's battery pack and the GND wire of the 9v battery running through the POWER GND pin of the driver. Currently, the 5V pin of the driver is being used, not the 12V power. I have coded a 2 wheeled( dc gear motor) buggy and want to 'upgrade' it to a 4 wheeled 'monster' buggy.

If I were to use the 12V pin ( and provide the 12V for the power supply, would the GND affect the micro:bit badly at all?

Thanks for your help, I'm new to this and this is my first question too. Any help about electronics is appreciated!
