Great hardware, learning curve exists

The board itself is fantastic with all the sensors included. It took me a little while to get the Mu Editor configured correctly on Windows, but once running, it works great.

So many project possibilities

We have made a step counter, a compass, and a simple radio messenger. The microphone sensitivity is surprisingly good for voice activation projects.

Excellent for classroom use

I bought ten of these for my middle school computer science class. They are durable, the battery life is decent, and the built-in speaker is a huge upgrade from V1.

Good value for money

Does exactly what it says. The LED matrix is bright and clear. Only wish the battery pack was included in the box, but that's a minor issue.

Perfect starter kit for my son

My 10-year-old son absolutely loves this board. The Python support makes it easy to transition from block coding to text-based programming. Setup was seamless on our Mac.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the difference between this V2 and the older V1 version?

A: The V2 features a faster processor, more memory, a built-in speaker, a microphone, and a touch-sensitive logo, which were not present in the V1 model.

Q: Can I control motors or servos with this board?

A: Yes, you can connect motors and servos via the edge connector pins. You may need a motor driver module depending on the power requirements of your specific motor.

Q: Can this board be powered by a standard phone charger?

A: Yes, you can power the micro:bit V2 using any standard micro-USB cable connected to a USB port or a 5V USB wall adapter.

Q: Does this kit come with batteries included?

A: No, the development board does not include batteries. You will need to purchase two AAA batteries separately if you wish to run it without a USB connection.

Q: Is it possible to use this without an internet connection after initial setup?

A: Absolutely. Once you have installed the code editor (like Mu or Thonny) and downloaded any necessary drivers, you can write and upload code entirely offline.
