Datasheet

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that lets you get creative with digital technology.

You can code, customize and control your micro:bit from anywhere! Use your micro:bit

for all sorts of unique creations, from robots to musical instruments and more. At half the

size of a credit card, this board is equipped with a surprising amount of hardware,

including 25 red LED lights that can flash messages. There are two programmable

buttons that can be used to control games or pause and skip songs on a playlist. The

micro:bit can even detect motion and tell you which direction you’re heading. It can also

use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to interact with other devices and the internet.

This micro:bit Go Bundle provides you with everything you need to get hooked up and

powered. This kit includes the micro:bit, a short USB cable, a AAA battery holder and

AAA batteries. Also inside the Go Bundle you will find a Quick Start Guide with four

unique ideas to get you started with micro:bit! The Go Bundle is a quick and economical

way to get started with the micro:bit.

On the front of the board you will find the 5x5 LED array, which you can use as a light

sensor; a tiny screen to draw on or display words, numbers and other information; and

the two programmable buttons! On the back of the board you will find the brains of the

micro:bit, a 16MHz, 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller with 256KB Flash, 16KB RAM

and a built-in temperature sensor. Additionally, the back of the micro:bit is populated by

an accelerometer, compass and Bluetooth Smart antenna, as well as a microUSB and

two-pin JST connector for different power options. Finally, at the bottom of the board you

will find 20 gold-tabbed edge pins and five ring connectors (three for digital/analogue I/O, two for power and ground) for hooking up external components. The tabs with larger holes can be easily used with alligator clips to prototype added components quickly. The micro:bit has even supplied an intuitive mobile app that lets you send your code to your micro:bit over Bluetooth (without using a USB cable). With this app you will be able to interact with your micro:bit on a higher level of accessibility.
