BBC Micro : Bit V2 Go Kit

BBC Micro : Bit V2 Go Kit

The all-new micro:bit V2 continues to support all of the same features that teachers and students have come to love, and all the existing lessons and code for the original micro:bit will be compatible with the new device.

Designed specifically for kids and beginners, the micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customize and control to bring your digital ideas, games, and apps to life. It’s a small, code-able device that is a non-intimidating introduction to programming and making – switch on, program it to do something fun – wear it, customize it, develop new ideas. 

The microcontroller on the micro:bit V2 has been upgraded to nRF52833 with double the memory size to 512KB Flash, and an 8 times larger size of RAM to 128KB.  With the upgrades of the main controller, micro:bit V2 is now Bluetooth 5.1 and also BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

Besides the MCU, the co-microcontroller that handles USB connection, KL26Z with 16KB RAM is being upgraded to KL27Z with 32KB of RAM too. micro:bit V2 still comes with an accelerometer, compass, and Bluetooth Smart antenna, as well as a micro USB and two-pin JST connector for different power options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the micro:bit V2 Go Kit compatible with original micro:bit V1 projects?

Yes. The micro:bit V2 retains full backward compatibility with all V1 lessons and code—just upload your existing .hex files via USB and they’ll run exactly as before.

How do I program the micro:bit V2 board?

Plug the board into your PC or Mac via USB. It mounts as a mass-storage device. Use Microsoft MakeCode or the MicroPython editor to create your program, download the .hex file, and drag it into the board’s drive.

How can I utilize the built-in microphone and touch-sensitive logo?

In MakeCode, find “sound level” blocks under Input to read microphone data, and “on logo pressed” blocks to detect touches. In Python, use the microphone and logo modules to capture audio levels or touch events in code.
