MEFV22S

Meet the new micro:bit; a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control to bring your digital ideas to life. Perfect for getting creative in the classroom, the micro:bit V2 features easier ways to use sound and touch; sense and react to sounds with the built-in microphone, play sounds with the integrated speaker and the touch sensor allows for fantastic new interactions. The micro:bit has a combined accelerometer and magnetometer chip that provides 3-axis sensing and magnetic field strength sensing. The onboard MEMs microphone provides a sound input for the micro:bit and a built-in LED indicator that shows the user when the microphone is powered. Other enhancements include more computing power and an energy saving mode to prolong battery life. Supplied as a retail pack containing a micro:bit and quick start guide.
