The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has many features that let it interact with you and your world.

The original BBC micro:bit has been a great success, helping to educate students in the joys of coding and embedded computing. Now there is a NEW BBC micro:bit with the same great features but now with speaker and microphone. The new computer adds even more opportunities for learning, exploration and creativity in the classroom.

This latest micro:bit will fit right in to your existing lessons and materials; all the existing MakeCode blocks and MicroPython code will work in the same way as they do on the original micro:bit. The previous micro:bit will also continue to work just as it did before.

With the built-in speaker, microphone and touch sensor on the new micro:bit, there are even more exciting things you can add to your projects: Clap hearts - Clap your hands to make the heart beat using the sound sensor Bumblebee - Fly your bumblebee to see how motion affects the frequency, tempo and volume of its sound Hold the note - Keep singing to make all the LEDs light up Mimic - Talk to your micro:bit and listen to it mimic the rhythm of your speech

Software development and compatibility Online editors are designed to be really easy to use to program the micro:bit and this will continue for the new features of sound sensing, sound-making and touch. The latest micro:bit will fit right in to your existing lessons and materials; all the existing MakeCode blocks and MicroPython code will work in the same way as they do on the original micro:bit. The previous micro:bit will also continue to work just as it did before.

• Built-in speaker, microphone and touch sensor
• Sense and react to sound
• Capacitive touch sensor (a bit like your phone!)
• Power saving mode
• More computing power

Meet the new BBC micro:bit - now with speaker and microphone! Same great features, easier ways to use sound and touch to get creative in the classroom.

The IoT Starter Kit is an all-in-one bundle for micro:bit beginners to quickly experience and build Internet of Things projects.

The kit comes with a micro:bit microcontroller, a Wi-Fi module and 7 sensors/actuators that are wildly used in real-life IoT applications.

You can easily setup the Wi-Fi connection in MakeCode Block Editor, program your micro:bit and eventually interact with your smart devices. To make things even easier and fun, EasyIoT, a free educational IoT platform, allows subscribers to exchange and visualize the data.

This starter kit is compatible with hundreds of DFRobot Gravity Series modules, bringing endless possibilities to your IoT applications.

• Features:
• micro:bit with internet connectivity
• The kit comes with a plug and play Wi-Fi module, Obloq, that adds Internet connectivity to micro:bit
• To start internet connection, simply fill in your Wi-Fi name and password into the coding blocks

The RKUB SB is a shield base edge connector powered breakout board with headers that allow Arduino shields to be mounted onto the PCB, as well as breaking out the BBC micro:bit to provide a prototyping area for testing and development. The self-build kit is very easy to build, with surface mount voltage regulators that are easy to solder. The board uses a professional standard, double sided PCB with high quality plated through holes in the prototyping area. There is a power switch and a 2.1mm DC power socket (12V DC recommended) that powers the board (therefore powering the micro:bit and the shield).

• Self-build kit
• Very easy to use
• Power circuitry with a 3.3V and 5V voltage regulators
• Designed and manufactured in the UK

Note: Neither Arduino nor BBC micro:bit are included.

The RKub1 is an edge connector breakout board solder kit designed for use with the BBC micro:bit. Supplied as a self-build kit that is easy to construct and very easy to use.
