Excellent classroom resource

I bought ten of these kits for my middle school robotics club. The durability is impressive, and the ability to switch between Python and Blocks means students can grow with the device. Highly recommended for educators.

Perfect introduction to coding for my son

My 12-year-old son was intimidated by text-based coding, but the block editor on the micro:bit made it so easy. Within an hour, he had a working step counter. The V2 sound sensor is a great addition compared to the old version.

Solid hardware, steep learning curve for total beginners

The hardware quality is top-notch. However, if you have zero programming knowledge, you might need to watch some YouTube tutorials alongside the included guide. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless.

Bluetooth connectivity works flawlessly

Used this to build a simple remote control car. The BLE connection to my phone was stable and easy to set up using the MakeCode app. The improved processor speed on the V2 is noticeable when running complex loops.

Fun weekend project

Bought this to learn Python without investing in a expensive computer setup. The online simulator is great for testing code before flashing it to the board. The documentation provided in the kit is clear and helpful.

Great board, wish the battery pack was rechargeable

The board itself is fantastic and very responsive. My only minor complaint is that the included battery pack uses disposable AAA batteries. I ended up buying a separate LiPo adapter, but otherwise, it's a solid kit.

5 FAQ

Q: Can this board be programmed using a Chromebook?

A: Yes, the micro:bit V2 is fully compatible with Chromebooks. You can use the web-based MakeCode editor or the Python editor directly in the Chrome browser without installing any software.

Q: Does the kit include motors for building a robot?

A: This starter kit includes the board, battery pack, and connecting clips, but it does not include motors or wheels. You will need to purchase a motor driver board and motors separately to build a moving robot.

Q: What is the maximum range of the Bluetooth connection?

A: In an open environment, the Bluetooth Low Energy range is typically up to 30 meters (approx. 100 feet). Walls and other obstacles may reduce this range significantly.

Q: Is the V2 backward compatible with V1 accessories?

A: Yes, the edge connector pinout is identical to the V1, so most existing shields and breakout boards designed for the original micro:bit will work perfectly with the V2.

Q: Can I power this directly from a USB power bank?

A: Absolutely. You can connect the micro:bit V2 to any standard USB power bank using the included USB-C cable. It will draw power directly from the bank, saving your batteries.
