BBC Micro:Bit V2 GO Kit

The micro: bit V2 is the new redesign of the already famous BBC micro: bit. With much more processing power with the new upgraded nRF52833 Processor, this new version brings with it more peripherals that you can experiment with in no time and with less wiring, such as a speaker, microphone, touch sensor and more. With the micro: bit you can do everything from small signs with the LED matrix, interesting tunes with the tone libraries, small autonomous robots, to weather stations.

The micro: bit V2 platform allows young students to learn programming and enter the world of electronics easily. With the MakeCode editor creating your programs is super easy. Just drag the blocks and load the program as if it were a USB stick.

This micro: bit Go Bundle provides you with everything you need to connect and power. This kit includes the V2 micro: bit, a short USB cable, an AAA battery holder, and 2 AAA batteries. Also inside the Go Bundle, you’ll find a Quick Start Guide with four unique ideas for getting started with micro: bit.

The Go Bundle is a fast and inexpensive way to start learning with your new micro: bit.

Features

• Onboard speaker
• MEMs Microphone with LED indicator
• Touch-sensitive logo
• Built-in sleep/off mode that means the board can be powered-down with batteries connected
