Great hardware upgrade
The nRF52833 chip is significantly faster than the previous generation. Python programming via BXY works flawlessly. It's robust enough to handle being dropped by enthusiastic kids, which is a major plus.

Excellent board, minor software quirks
The hardware itself is fantastic. The LED matrix is bright and the buttons feel tactile. Occasionally had some connection issues with the Bluetooth on older laptops, but once connected, the data transfer is stable. Highly recommend for hobbyists.

Best value for STEM education
Support for both graphical blocks and text-based Python makes this ideal for progressing students. The UK support documentation is comprehensive. We use it alongside the IoT kits and it integrates perfectly.

Good step up from V1
Bought this to replace an older micro:bit that finally gave up after years of use. The added memory allows for much more complex Python scripts. Only wish the battery connector was slightly more secure, but overall a solid purchase.

Robust and versatile
Used this to build a simple weather station for my garden. The temperature sensor is reasonably accurate, and the ability to log data via Bluetooth to my phone is very convenient. Battery life is impressive too.

Perfect for Classroom Coding
We bought ten of these for our Year 7 computing class. The upgrade to version 2.2 with the built-in microphone and speaker makes a huge difference compared to the old models. Students love using Mind+ to create interactive projects without needing complex wiring.
Q: What is the maximum current I can draw from the 3V pin?
A: You should not draw more than 90mA total from the 3V pin to avoid damaging the board's regulator. For higher current components like motors, please use an external driver or power source.
Q: Is the microphone sensitive enough for sound-activated projects?
A: Absolutely. The built-in MEMS microphone on the 2.2 version is quite sensitive and works well for clap detectors, noise level monitors, and simple voice commands when paired with the right code.
Q: Can I power this directly from a 3.7V LiPo battery?
A: While the board has a battery pack connector for 2x AAA cells, connecting a raw LiPo directly to the pins requires caution. We recommend using a dedicated battery breakout board with voltage regulation to ensure safety and stability.
Q: Does Mind+ support offline editing for this device?
A: Yes, the desktop version of Mind+ supports offline editing and compiling for the micro:bit. You just need an internet connection initially to install the extensions and drivers.
Q: Does this board work with the original micro:bit accessories?
A: Yes, the micro:bit 2.2 maintains the same form factor and edge connector pinout as the original, so most existing shields and breakout boards are compatible.
