Micro:bit boards are a continuation of the legacy of the legendary 8-bit BBC Micro designed by Acorn Computers in the 80s. BBC Micro was a computer that was designed as an educational tool for learning programming. A micro: bit board was created for the same purpose, but there is a significant difference - the main CPU. The BBC Microcomputer was based on the MOS Technology 6502 chip clocked at 1MHz, and the BBC micro:bit board is based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 processor, which is clocked at 16MHz - just like the 8-bit AVR Atmega microcontrollers on which Arduino boards are based. The BBC micro: bit from DFRobot is a credit card-sized microcomputer based on 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 processor. The built-in 5x5 LED display, accelerometer, magnetometer, programmable buttons and Bluetooth module will allow you to create many interesting projects, such as robots, electronic musical instruments or simple home automation applications. The starter kit includes a battery container with a wires, two AAA batteries and a USB to micro USB cable. The set is especially recommended for children and adults who want to start the adventure with programming embedded systems from scratch.

BBC Microbit - Minicomputers - Development boards, modules, accessories
Micro:bit is a device that will interest everyone and any age . In today's world, knowledge and skills in electronics are highly valued, so it is worth trying your hand at this field or providing your children with the opportunity to develop in this direction. In this section you will find both stand-alone Micro:bit devices and ready-made sets , thanks to which you will be able to freely use the possibilities offered by the equipment and expand them as you wish. However, if you have already purchased the board, you can use the accessory sets available in this category for BBC Microbit minicomputers.
Microbit - Extensions, housings, add-ons and great possibilities
If you want to use projects that have already been created on the basis of Micro:bit, you will certainly be interested in the subcategory "Micro:bit - extensions". There you will find both modules that create a weather station , a game console or a smartwatch from your board, as well as adapters thanks to which you will be able to quickly and easily connect the Micro:bit to the breadboard to prototype your ideas and ready-made projects. Thanks to such solutions, you don't even need to have any soldering skills or knowledge. However, if you would like to use the Micro:bit board as a part of your project, in the "Micro:bit - housings and accessories" subcategory you will find special board sockets that have 40 pins ready for surface mounting on your PCB. You will also find specially designed cases there so that you can protect the device against excessive dust and other deposits on the electronic paths and protect it against the negative effects of falls. We also have a large selection of microUSB power supplies (input current: AC from 100 to 240 V / 50-60 Hz, output current: DC, 5.1 V 2.5 A).
BBC micro:bit - FAQ
The BBC micro:bit is a pocket computer that introduces users to how software and hardware work together - and we're mainly talking about children. It is equipped with an LED display, buttons, sensors and multiple input/output functions. It is considered a great platform for introducing children to the world of electronics and programming.
micro:bit BBC is designed to encourage children to be actively involved in writing software and building new things, rather than just being consumers of media. It is designed to work with other platforms such as Raspberry Pi , leveraging BBC Micro's achievements in the field of IT in education.
According to the creators of the BBC, micro:bit has users of all ages, but most of the resources available for use are intended for children aged 8-14 and teachers, parents and guardians who teach their children.
Unlike SBC systems like (or rather model due to its popularity) RPi, the BBC micro:bit is not a standalone computer, but rather a microcontroller with additional sensors and input/output connectors intended for programming from another device such as a computer, tablet or smartphone .
The BBC micro:bit 2 board has elements such as a MEMS microphone, speaker, touch button, accelerometer, magnetometer, Bluetooth 5.0, 5 x 5 LED display, Tact Switch buttons and others.
The BBC micro:bit app for Android is available for download from the Google Play Store and supports sending code to the micro:bit from a mobile device. The application will simply search for a BBC micro:bit device for us, and then the devices will be paired.
