The micro:bit platform combines the 'bit, a pocket-sized coding device featuring
several sensors and LEDs, with an awesome website full of coding examples and
projects. Start out with the video tutorials, then check out the ideas page to get
creative. From making your own games to taking selfies, the possibilities are
endless!
This is the micro:bit Club 10-Pack with batteries, battery holders & USB cables.
You'll get enough parts for 10 makers or 5 makers working paired up. For the
individual micro:bit (no extras) click here!
The micro:bit is based off of the nRF51822 microcontroller, which has built in
Bluetooth LE radio. There are two programmable buttons that can be used to
control games, send a radio message, activate the display, etc. The micro:bit can
detect motion (using an accelerometer) and tell you which direction you are
heading in (using a magnetometer/compass chip). On the bottom is an
expansion port, with 5 alligator-clip friendly pads and additional card-edge
contacts for 19 total I/O pins. Each of these sensors, inputs, and outputs, is
completely programmable via easy-to-use software that can be accessed from a
PC, laptop, tablet, or mobile.
You can use MakeCode/PXT blocks or micro Python to start your programming
adventure. Advanced programmers can graduate to mbed for super-powerful C
or C++ programming.
Exciting, right? It includes everything you need to begin learning about hardware
and software. No programming or hardware experience is necessary!
