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.
