The micro:bit v2 module is compatible with the Parallax cyber:bot robot board (#32702) and the Edge I/O Adapter (#32710).

For a full educational platform with micro:bit Python programming and breadboard-based circuit-building, see the What's a Microcontroller with Python and micro:bit - Complete Kit (#32750).

The BBC micro:bit v2 will will be completely familiar to anyone who has used the original device. It’s the same size, shape and looks very similar — and functions the same way. Programs written for the prior version run on version 2 with the same editors. However, the micro:bit v2 features several significant additions related to program memory (3.5x the code space for cyber:bot Python scripts), a touch-pad button, speaker and microphone. These hardware additions expand the kinds of applications students may build.

Some additional refinements include a notched edge connector, power LED, and an exposed, gold-plated antenna to identify the radio/Bluetooth component.

Note that packaging methods and styles may vary.
