micro:bit v2 Board

Don’t let the size fool you the BBC micro:bit v2 is the perfect device for you to get creative with digital technology! At half the size of a credit card this board is the ultimate tool for learning to code and building unique creations from interactive robots to digital musical instruments. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro the micro:bit v2 lets you customize and control your projects from anywhere.Advanced Hardware & CapabilitiesThe v2 board is a significant upgrade from the previous micro:bit version retaining the intuitive interface users love while adding powerful new onboard components. This enhanced design packs the potential to grow with you into a small form factor ensuring you have the tools to build even more complex and interactive projects as you learn:Interactive Inputs: Features two programmable tactile buttons and a touch-sensitive logo for controlling games and media.Sound & Speech: Now equipped with a built-in MEMS microphone (with a sound-input LED indicator) and a speaker enabling your projects to sense sound and talk back without external attachments.Visual Display: A 5x5 array of 25 red LEDs allows you to flash messages display numbers and even acts as a light sensor.Motion & Direction: Built-in accelerometer and compass let the board detect motion and indicate your heading.Wireless FreedomWith Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) you can interact seamlessly with other devices and the Internet. Intuitive micro:bit mobile apps let you wirelessly send code to your board via Bluetooth eliminating the need for a USB cable during programming.Maker-Friendly DesignUnder the hood the micro:bit v2 runs on a fast 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller (512KB Flash 128KB RAM) with a built-in temperature sensor. Connection is easier than ever; the bottom edge features 25 gold-tabbed pins and five ring connectors (Power Ground and I/O). The large tabs are now notched making it incredibly easy to secure alligator clips for quick prototyping.
