Introduction

What is Micro:bit?

Designed by BBC, Micro:bit main board aims to help children aged above 10 years old to have a better learning of programming.
It is equipped with loads of components,including a 5*5 LED dot matrix, 2 programmable buttons, a compass, a Micro USB interface and a Bluetooth module and others. Though it is just the size of a credit card, it boasts multiple functions. To name just a few, it can be applied in programming video games, making interactions between light and sound, controlling a robot, conducting scientific experiments, developing wearable devices and make some cool inventions like robots and musical instruments, basically everything imaginable.
The latest version, that’s version 2.0, of Micro:bit main board has a touch-sensitive logo and a MEMS microphone. And there is a speaker built in the other side of the board which makes playing all kinds of sound possible without any external equipment. The golden fingers and gears added provide a better fixing of crocodile clips. Moreover, this board has a sleeping mode to lower the power consumption of battery and it can be entered if users long press the Reset & Power button on the back of it. More importantly, the CPU capacity of this version is much better than that of the V1.5 and the V2 has more RMA.
In final analysis, the Micro:bit main board V2 can allow customers to explore more functions so as to make more innovative products.
Serving as a better device for learning some basic knowledge about microcontroller and electronics, we have designed this kit. We plan to provide instructions for using this board , including offering connection diagrams and test code.
