What’s new with the micro:bit V2? 

The BBC micro:bit launched in 2016 and has been a huge success globally completely transforming the way children learnt about computing digitally. All of the features everyone loves about the micro:bit have stayed whilst some new ones have been added. To note the micro:bit v2 board is backwards compatible with other micro:bit boards ecosystems and accessories. So you don’t have to worry about replacing any equipment you have.

We have highlighted some of the key differences between the board versions below:

• New built inbuilt speaker & microphone.
• Memory has increased by 700% from 16KB to128KB RAM and 256KB to 512KB flash which gives the device much more capability.
• The CPU has been upgraded from a Cortex m0 at 16MHz to a Cortex m4 with a floatingpoint at 64MHz. 
• The golden edge connectors have small indentations that allow much easier prototyping with crocodile clips that won’t keep falling off. 
• The board can now provide 200mA to accessories up from 90mA in the previous board version.
• Extra input capability is achieved with the touch sensor to accompany the existing two buttons.
• Version 2 now has a power LED and can be switched off instead of having to remove batteries.
• Able to support both AI and machine learning.

Getting Started with the micro:bit 

The micro: bit is super easy to use. You don’t need lots of complicated peripherals to get started – all you need is a PC or mobile device to program it on. To get started you will need: 

• A micro:bit and battery pack with 2 x AA batteries
• A computer phone or tablet with internet access code editors to program your micro:bit
• If you’re using a computer a USB lead to connect your micro:bit
• For building and making projects with your micro:bit some extra items that are great to have include headphones crocodile clip leads and conductive materials such as aluminum foil and paper clips.

Once the micro:bit is programmed it will then stay in the flash memory and you can run it every time as many times as desired. Then you can reprogram it when you want to try a different project 1 program can be held at a time.
