Microbit V2.2 - BBC

The Microbit V2.2 is version 2.2 of the BBC micro:bit, a pocket-sized programmable computer made for learning to code and build electronics. It has a 5 × 5 LED display, two buttons, a touch-sensitive logo, a built-in speaker and microphone, a motion sensor and compass, and radio and Bluetooth wireless. Students can program it in a web browser with Microsoft MakeCode blocks, JavaScript or Python, so it suits schools, STEM clubs and beginners of all ages.

Tip: Connect the micro:bit to a computer with a micro USB data cable; it appears as a drive called MICROBIT, and you can drag the .hex file from MakeCode onto it or flash it straight from the browser. Use crocodile clips on the large rings to connect LEDs, buzzers and sensors without soldering.
