BBC Micro:Bit V2.2
The micro: bit is only half the size of a credit card. It is equipped with a 5×5 programmable LED matrix, two programmable buttons, an accelerometer, an electronic compass, a thermometer, Bluetooth, a new touch-sensitive logo, a microphone, a speaker, and other electronic modules.
The BBC micro: bit V2.2 is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customize, and control to bring your digital ideas, games, and apps to life. It’s a fantastic way to introduce budding coders to the wonderful world of computer programming. With the easy-to-use online code block editor and simple crocodile clip-friendly board, coding fun projects and using electronic components is easier than ever.
Features:
- Detects motion and direction – create games that use shaking motions or directions with built-in sensors and compass.
- Control your projects using the 2 buttons clicky buttons – make games, control robots, count things!
- Tap the capacitive button as an input for your projects – stop/start the music, start a timer, run a program, or whatever you decide!
- Flash messages, your name, or animations across the 25 programmable lights.
- Connect the BBC micro: bit to your phone using Bluetooth to take selfies without touching your phone.
- Use the on-board speaker to play sounds or music as part of your project.
- Easy to code with the online drag-and-drop code block editor.
- Built-in sleep/off mode means the board can be powered down with batteries connected.
- Discrete regulator that can supply up to 200mA of current to external accessories Refinements.
- Notched edge connector. To make it easier to connect things like crocodile clips and conductive thread.
- Power LED indicator. In addition to the USB activity indicator, a power LED shows whether the micro: bit is powered on or off.
- Copper-plated antenna. To easily identify the radio/Bluetooth component.
