DFRobot micro:bit V2 Educational & Creative Tool for Kids

DFRobot micro:bit V2 Educational and creative tool for kids is a powerful, pocket-sized computer that is designed to teach kids coding and solve problems using technology. This tool is equipped with a 5×5 programmable LED matrix, two programmable buttons, accelerometer, electronic compass, thermometer, Bluetooth, touch-sensitive logo, microphone, speaker, and other electronic modules. The micro:bit V2 is powered by Nordic Semiconductor nRF52833 processor, 512kB Flash and 128kB RAM memory, ST LSM303 motion sensor, and NXP KL27Z 32kB RAM interface.

Features

  • On board speaker
  • MEMS microphone with LED indicator
  • Touch sensitive logo
  • Built-in sleep/off mode that means the board can be powered-down with batteries connected
  • Discrete regulator that can supply up to 200mA of current to external accessories refinements
  • Notched edge connector:
    • To make it easier to connect things like crocodile clips and conductive thread
  • Power LED indicator:
    • In addition to the USB activity indicator, a power LED shows whether the micro:bit is powered on or off
  • Copper plated antenna:
    • To easily identify the radio/Bluetooth component
