micro:bit v2 Board

The BBC micro:bit v2 is a small com­put­er that can fit in your pock­et and pro­vides ample oppor­tu­ni­ties for dig­i­tal cre­ativ­i­ty. Each pur­chase includes only the micro:bit v2 board, but you can code, cus­tomize, and con­trol it from any­where. The micro:bit can be used to cre­ate a wide vari­ety of unique projects such as robots or musi­cal instru­ments, among oth­ers. Despite being half the size of a cred­it card, each board is equipped with an impres­sive array of hard­ware, includ­ing 25 red LED lights that can flash mes­sages, two pro­gram­ma­ble tac­tile but­tons, a touch-sen­si­tive logo for game con­trol or playlist nav­i­ga­tion, and even motion detec­tion capa­bil­i­ties. Addi­tion­al­ly, it can inter­act with oth­er devices and the Inter­net via Blue­tooth Low Ener­gy (BLE 5.0).Exam­in­ing the front of the board, you can see a 5x5 LED array that can be used as a light sen­sor, a tiny screen to dis­play words, num­bers, or oth­er infor­ma­tion, a micro­phone input and LED indi­ca­tor, and two pro­gram­ma­ble tac­tile but­tons, as well as the touch-sen­si­tive logo. On the back of the board is where the micro:bit’s “brain” is locat­ed, which includes a 64 MHz, ARM Cor­tex-M4 micro­con­troller with FPU, 512KB Flash, 128KB RAM, and a built-in tem­per­a­ture sen­sor. The board is also equipped with an accelerom­e­ter, com­pass, MEMS micro­phone, speak­er, and Blue­tooth Smart anten­na, along with a microUSB and two-pin JST con­nec­tor for dif­fer­ent pow­er options. At the bot­tom of the board, there are 25 gold-tabbed edge pins and five ring con­nec­tors (three for digital/analog I/O, two for pow­er and ground) for attach­ing exter­nal com­po­nents. The tabs with larg­er holes can be used eas­i­ly with alli­ga­tor clips and are notched for quick pro­to­type com­po­nent con­nec­tions.Micro:bit also pro­vides a user-friend­ly mobile app that allows you to send your code to the micro:bit over Blue­tooth (with­out need­ing a USB cable) and offers addi­tion­al func­tion­al­i­ty. With this app, you can inter­act with your micro:bit more eas­i­ly.Please note that the micro:bit v2 does not include any cables or pow­er sources. You will need to pur­chase a micro:bit AAA bat­tery hold­er or a micro USB cable to pow­er your board.The micro:bit is a com­pact com­put­er that pro­vides end­less pos­si­bil­i­ties for dig­i­tal cre­ativ­i­ty. With the micro:bit and shield-like bit boards, you can code, cus­tomize, and con­trol your micro:bit from almost any­where and cre­ate unique projects such as robots or musi­cal instru­ments. Despite its small size, the micro:bit has vast poten­tial.FEATURES:64 MHz Arm Cor­tex-M4 with FPU512KB Flash128KB RAM5x5 Red LED ArrayTwo Pro­gram­ma­ble But­tons, one touch sen­si­tive logoMEMS micro­phone and LED indi­ca­torOnboard Light, Com­pass, Accelerom­e­ter, Temp Sen­sors and Speak­er2.4 Ghz Micro:bit Radio/BLE 5.0 Smart Anten­na25-pin Edge Con­nec­tor4 ded­i­cat­ed GPIO, PWM, I2C, SPI, and ext. pow­erThree Digital/Analog Input/Output RingsTwo Pow­er Rings — 3V and GNDDed­i­cat­ed I2C bus for periph­er­alsMicroUSB Con­nec­tor (5V)JST-PH Bat­tery Con­nec­tor (Not JST-XH) (3V)Power/reset But­ton with Sta­tus LED200 mA avail­able for acces­soriesPro­gram with C , Make­Code, Python, ScratchDOCUMENTS:Get­ting Start­ed VideosAbout micro:bitmicro:bit Hard­waremicro:bit Apps
