“Spent, ooh, 30 d=seconds getting this up and running a basic "Hello World" onto the 25-segment (!) LED. This promises to be a really simple, easy to use and program device, beating even the Pi and Arduinos.”
“The micro:bit offers a great experience for all makers, both young and old. My kids and me played around a little bit and created a burglar alarm. It was so easy! To my mind it is fast to achieve results because it is so easy to use as a logic module.”
“I just received my three BBC Micro:Bit's from The Pi Hut. I started playing with one of them already and I am impressed with all the built-in capabilities in such a small package. I am looking forward to working on these with my 12 year-old son in the near future. My order arrived well packaged and quickly (to Canada).”
“Incredible little device. Accelerometer, magnetomer, a/d converters, bluetooth and usb ports. Its like an electronics lab in a credit card size device. Wow!”
“For the longest time I've been looking for an inexpensive device that younger students could program with Block programming and work up to a text based programming language. I plan to use this with the expansion connector and a breadboard.”
