micro:bit v2 Module

micro:bit v2 Module Overview:

micro:bit v2 Module is a compact programmable board with built in LED display, buttons, tilt sensor, speaker, and radio, made for friendly computer education. This product is the micro:bit v2 module alone (no cable, battery holder, or box). Buy this if you already have the other pieces.

The BBC micro:bit v2 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 v2.0 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.

The micro:bit 2 module is compatible with Parallax's cyber:bot robot kit (without micro:bit #32705), the cyber:bot board (#32702) and the Edge I/O Adapter (#32710).

micro:bit v2.0 Module Features:

• Hardware sensors and I/O devices in the original BBC micro:bit are included
• On-board speaker
• Microphone with LED indicator
• Touch-sensitive logo
• Built-in sleep/off mode that allows power-down with batteries connection
• Discrete on-board regulator to supply up to 200 mA of current to external devices

Refer to microbit.org for official, complete specifications.

Note that the micro:bit v2 is made with four different silkscreen color variations. We are unable to take requests for a specific color, and orders of multiples may include a mix of colors.
