What’s new with the micro:bit V2?

The BBC micro:bit launched in 2016 and has been a huge success globally, completely transforming the way children learnt about computing digitally. All of the features everyone loves about the micro:bit have stayed whilst some new ones have been added. To note, the micro:bit v2 board is backwards compatible with other micro:bit boards, ecosystems and accessories. So you don’t have to worry about replacing any equipment you have.

We have highlighted some of the key differences between the board versions below:

  • New built in-built speaker & microphone.
  • Memory has increased by 700% from 16KB to128KB RAM and 256KB to 512KB flash which gives the device much more capability.
  • The CPU has been upgraded from a Cortex m0 at 16MHz to a Cortex m4 with a floating-point at 64MHz.
  • The golden edge connectors have small indentations that allow much easier prototyping with crocodile clips that won’t keep falling off.
  • The board can now provide 200mA to accessories, up from 90mA in the previous board version.
  • Extra input capability is achieved with the touch sensor to accompany the existing two buttons.
  • Version 2 now has a power LED and can be switched off instead of having to remove batteries.
  • Able to support both AI and machine learning.

Getting Started with the micro:bit

The micro: bit is super easy to use. You don’t need lots of complicated peripherals to get started – all you need is a PC or mobile device to program it on. To get started you will need:

  • A micro:bit and battery pack with 2 x AAA batteries
  • A computer, phone or tablet with internet access code editors to programme your micro:bit
  • If you’re using a computer, a USB lead to connect your micro:bit
  • For building and making projects with your micro:bit, some extra items that are great to have include headphones, crocodile clip leads and conductive materials such as aluminium foil and paper clips.

Once the micro:bit is programmed it will then stay in the flash memory and you can run it every time as many times as desired. Then you can re-program it when you want to try a different project, 1 program can be held at a time.

Package Includes:

  • 1 x micro:bit v2 board – available in 4 colours red, yellow, green & blue (please note we cannot select the colour of the micro:bit you will receive)
  • 1 x Quick start guide
  • 1 x micro USB Cable
  • 1 x Battery Holder
  • 2 x AAA Batteries
