“I like the BBC microbit and use it as a micro controller. Not sure if V2 is a life changer for me, the speaker is very quiet, the power saving mode does not seem particularly useful, the extra memory and speed may help on future projects. However its still great value for money and a good intro to coding,”
“Great way to get into programming microcontrollers with micropython, it's a great all-in-one package. Contains quite a few sensors, a display, BLE and radio communication, buttons and input-output pins in a small form factor!”
“Had problems with timeout download error code but it seems to be working OK programming from my laptop now. Think it may have been a raspberrypi issue. Very happy with the microbit .”
“My son is learning to program at school with this. But due to remote school they were having to use the simulator. Having the actual device makes it much more interesting.”
